2.36

Answer: 'Among ordinary beings and sages, none is more supremely revered than the Buddha; in pouring out his mind to make a vow, he therefore first bowed to the Great Master. Precepts are a minor occasion; therefore, he only invited Maudgalyāyana to come and confer them. The king's intention was to value obtaining the precepts, which complete the meaning; why trouble the World-Honoured One to come out of his way?'
