1.2_3

Suppiyopi khoti suppiyopi tasmiṃ ṭhāne sūriyaṃ oloketvā – ‘‘akālo dāni gantuṃ, bahū khuddakamahallakā paribbājakā, bahuparissayo ca ayaṃ maggo corehipi vāḷayakkhehipi vāḷamigehipi. Ayaṃ kho pana samaṇo gotamo uyyānaṃ paviṭṭho, samaṇassa ca gotamassa vasanaṭṭhāne devatā ārakkhaṃ gaṇhanti, handāhampi idha ekarattivāsaṃ upagantvā sveva gamissāmī’’ti tadevuyyānaṃ pāvisi. Tato bhikkhusaṅgho bhagavato vattaṃ dassetvā attano attano vasanaṭṭhānaṃ sallakkhesi. Paribbājakopi uyyānassa ekapasse paribbājakaparikkhāre otāretvā vāsaṃ upagacchi saddhiṃ attano parisāya. Pāḷiyamārūḷhavaseneva pana – ‘‘saddhiṃ attano antevāsinā brahmadattena māṇavenā’’ti vuttaṃ.

“Suppiya too”: Suppiya too looked at the sun in that place and, thinking, “It is no longer time to go; there are many young and old wanderers, and this road is full of dangers from bandits, fierce yakkhas, and fierce beasts. Now this ascetic Gotama has entered the park, and the deities keep guard over the ascetic Gotama’s dwelling place; come now, I too will enter here for an overnight stay, and go tomorrow,” entered that very park. Then the Saṅgha of monks performed their duty to the Blessed One and took note of their respective dwelling places. The wanderer too put down the wanderers’ requisites in one corner of the park and took up residence together with his company. But it is said, “together with his pupil, the youth Brahmadatta,” just according to what is included in the Pāli.
