10. Mahājanakāyaanupabbajjā
2.16.1
Assosi kho, bhikkhave, bandhumatiyā rājadhāniyā mahājanakāyo caturāsītipāṇasahassāni:
A large crowd of 84,000 people in the capital of Bandhumatī heard
2.16.2
‘vipassī kira kumāro kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajito’ti.
that Vipassī had gone forth.
2.16.3
Sutvāna tesaṃ etadahosi:
It occurred to them,
2.16.4
‘na hi nūna so orako dhammavinayo, na sā orakā pabbajjā, yattha vipassī kumāro kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajito.
‘This must be no ordinary teaching and training, no ordinary going forth in which Prince Vipassī has gone forth.
2.16.5
Vipassīpi nāma kumāro kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajissati, kimaṅgaṃ pana mayan’ti.
If even the prince goes forth, why don’t we do the same?’
2.16.6
Atha kho, so bhikkhave, mahājanakāyo caturāsītipāṇasahassāni kesamassuṃ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā vipassiṃ bodhisattaṃ agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitaṃ anupabbajiṃsu.
Then that great crowd of 84,000 people shaved off their hair and beard, dressed in ocher robes, and followed the one intent on awakening, Vipassī, by going forth from the lay life to homelessness.
2.16.7
Tāya sudaṃ, bhikkhave, parisāya parivuto vipassī bodhisatto gāmanigamajanapadarājadhānīsu cārikaṃ carati.
Escorted by that assembly, Vipassī wandered on tour among the villages, towns, and capital cities.
