### [4.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1507.4.41)

所以稱迦渠比丘集眾說法第一者，此比丘音辭朗達、聲震遐邇。其聞音聲，集眾無數，即為演說法奧美之業：「諸人當知。如來出世難可值遇，四諦甘露亦難得聞。諸人曼時當思惟真諦，除去十二牽連之縛，可得涅槃。」此比丘恒助佛揚化，常以此教未墜於地，以是因緣稱集眾說法音聲第一也。

> The reason why Bhikṣu Kānkṣā was praised as foremost in assembling the crowd and preaching the Dharma is that this bhikṣu had a clear and penetrating voice that resonated near and far. Hearing his voice, countless people gathered, and he expounded for them the wondrous and beautiful deeds of the profound Dharma: 'You should all know: the appearance of a Tathāgata in the world is difficult to encounter; the sweet dew of the four noble truths is also difficult to hear. While you still have time, you should contemplate the true reality, remove the twelve entangling fetters, and nirvāṇa can be attained.' This bhikṣu constantly assisted the Buddha in propagating the teachings, ensuring that this instruction never fell to the ground; due to these causes and conditions, he was praised as foremost in voice when assembling the crowd to preach the Dharma.
