"Then Rāhula reverted to his original form. The old woman lifted her head and saw the one thousand two hundred and fifty monks; thereupon she said: 'The Buddha's Dharma is pure and does not abandon sentient beings, transforming and liberating even someone decrepit and wicked like me.' Having spoken these words, she sought to receive the five precepts. Then Rāhula explained the three refuges and conferred the five precepts on her. Upon hearing this Dharma, before she could even raise her head, she became a srotāpanna. The earth deity rejoiced and, welling up from the earth, said to Sudatta: 'Excellent, elder! You have torn the net of wrong views. It is precisely for this that the Tathāgata appears in the world!'
