Samyuktagama (Sanskrit fragments) 769.3-4

769.3

一時，佛住舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。爾時，尊者阿難晨朝著衣持鉢，入舍衛城乞食。

At one time the Buddha was dwelling in Śrāvastī at the Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍadārāma. At that time, in the morning, the venerable Ānanda put on his robes, took his bowl, and entered the city of Śrāvastī to beg for food.

Thus have I heard: One time, the Buddha was staying at Anāthapiṇḍada’s Park in Jeta’s Grove of Śrāvastī.

In the early morning, Venerable Ānanda put on his robe, took his bowl, and went to Śrāvastī to solicit alms. The priest Jāṇussoṇi was riding a chariot with white horses, and a crowd of many youths was following him. The horses, chariot, bridle, and whip were white. He wore a white hat, his parasol was white, and he held a white whisk in hand. He wore white clothes, his jewelry was white, white powder was smeared on his body, and his followers were all in white. They were leaving Śrāvastī intending to go to a grove for instruction and recitation. When the crowds saw them, they all said, “Excellent vehicle, excellent vehicle! That’s called the Brahma vehicle!”

769.4

時，有生聞婆羅門乘白馬車，眾多年少翼從，白馬、白車、白控、白鞭，頭著白帽、白傘蓋，手執白拂，著白衣服、白瓔珞，白香塗身，翼從皆白，出舍衛城，欲至林中教授讀誦，眾人見之咸言：「善乘！善乘！謂婆羅門乘。」

At that time there was the brahmin Jāṇussoṇi riding in a white chariot drawn by white horses, accompanied by many youths, with white horses, a white chariot, white reins, and a white whip; wearing a white cap on his head, under a white parasol, holding a white fly-whisk in his hand, wearing white clothes and white garlands, anointed with white incense, his retinue all in white, leaving the city of Śrāvastī, intending to go into the grove to teach recitation. When the people saw him, they all said: "An excellent vehicle! An excellent vehicle! A vehicle truly worthy of a brahmin!"
