49.69

爾時父者我身是也。爾時大臣者舍利弗是。爾時王者阿闍世是也。爾時天神者阿難是也(故俗云養老乞言即其是也)。

The father at that time was myself. The minister at that time was Śāriputra. The king at that time was Ajātaśatru. The deva at that time was Ānanda. (Hence the common saying about 'supporting the elderly and seeking their counsel' refers precisely to this.)
