Udanavarga 3.20-21

3.20

佛說偈已，五百梵志意自開解，即前禮佛五體投地叉手白佛言：「頑愚不及未達聖訓，唯願愍育得為沙門。」佛即聽受皆為沙門。村人大小見佛變化莫不歡欣，皆得道迹，稱之賢里，無復屠兒之名。佛食畢訖即還精舍。

When the Buddha had spoken the verse, the minds of the five hundred brahmacārins opened to understanding of themselves. They immediately came forward, bowed to the Buddha with their bodies cast to the ground, clasped their hands, and addressed the Buddha, saying: "Stubborn, foolish, and inferior, we had not comprehended your sagely instruction. We only wish you will compassionately nurture us so that we may become śramaṇas." The Buddha immediately permitted and accepted them, and all became śramaṇas. Seeing the Buddha's transformations, the villagers, old and young, all rejoiced; they all attained the trace of the Way, and the place was called the Village of the Worthy, no longer bearing the name of the Butchers. When the Buddha finished his meal, he returned to the vihāra.

On hearing these words, the Brahmans were convinced of their folly, and became disciples. The butcher also and his associates were converted, and then the All-Wise returned to the Vihāra.
