憍陳如等者。餘阿濕鞞、摩訶男、婆提、婆敷、富那婆蹉。準《本行經》說：「佛初成道，梵天王等請轉法輪，世尊受請，作是思惟：『諸世間中誰先得度？有五仙人昔日與我有大利益，堪能受我初轉法輪。』復作是念：『彼等五仙今在何處？』以淨天眼觀彼五仙在鹿野苑中。爾時世尊即向彼園廣為說法，外道身心悉皆伏滅，所著之服即成三衣，手執鉢器，鬚髮自落，經於七日威儀具足，如百夏比丘。乃至為轉四諦法輪，得阿羅漢果。」

On "Kauṇḍinya and the others": the remaining ones are Aśvajit, Mahānāman, Bhadrika, Bāṣpa, and Pūrṇamaitrāyaṇīputra. According to the *Abhiniṣkramaṇa Sūtra*: "When the Buddha first attained the Way, King Brahmā and others requested him to turn the wheel of the Dharma. The World-Honoured One accepted the request and contemplated thus: 'Among the worlds, who should be saved first? There are five ṛṣis who formerly brought me great benefit; they are capable of receiving my first turning of the wheel of the Dharma.' He further thought: 'Where are those five ṛṣis now?' With his pure divine eye, he saw those five ṛṣis in the Deer Park. Thereupon the World-Honoured One went to that park and expounded the Dharma extensively for them. The bodies and minds of the non-Buddhists were completely subdued and extinguished; the garments they wore immediately became the three robes; they held bowls in their hands, their beards and hair fell out of themselves, and after seven days, their deportment was complete, like bhikṣus of a hundred summer retreats. Then he turned the wheel of the Dharma of the Four Noble Truths for them, and they attained the fruit of arhatship."
