5.28

五百梵志意自開解。即前禮佛。五體投地。求達聖訓。唯願愍育得為沙門。佛即聽受。皆為沙門。村人大小。見佛變化。莫不歡喜。皆得道迹。稱之賢里。無復屠兒之名(出法句譬經第一卷)。

The minds of the five hundred brahmacārins opened to understanding. They immediately stepped forward, bowed to the Buddha, prostrating themselves fully on the ground, and sought to attain the holy teachings: “We only pray you take pity and nourish us, allowing us to become śramaṇas.” The Buddha immediately granted it, and they all became śramaṇas. The villagers, young and old, seeing the Buddha’s transformations, were all filled with joy and attained the trace of the Way. It was called the “Village of Worthies,” and no longer bore the name of butchers (from the first fascicle of the Dharmapada Avadāna Sūtra).
