With Janavasabha 9.1-11

9.1

“Yadeva kho me tvaṃ, ānanda, māgadhake paricārake ārabbha sammukhā parikathaṃ katvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkanto, tadevāhaṃ nātike piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṃ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto pāde pakkhāletvā giñjakāvasathaṃ pavisitvā māgadhake paricārake ārabbha aṭṭhiṃ katvā manasikatvā sabbaṃ cetasā samannāharitvā paññatte āsane nisīdiṃ:

The Buddha then recounted what had happened since speaking to Ānanda, revealing that he had seen the destiny of the Magadhan devotees. He continued:

9.2

‘gatiṃ nesaṃ jānissāmi abhisamparāyaṃ, yaṅgatikā te bhavanto yaṃabhisamparāyā’ti.

9.3

Addasaṃ kho ahaṃ, ānanda, māgadhake paricārake ‘yaṅgatikā te bhavanto yaṃabhisamparāyā’ti.

9.5

Atha kho, ānanda, antarahito yakkho saddamanussāvesi:

“Then, Ānanda, an invisible spirit called out:

9.6

‘janavasabho ahaṃ, bhagavā;

‘I am Janavasabha, Blessed One!

9.7

janavasabho ahaṃ, sugatā’ti.

I am Janavasabha, Holy One!’

9.8

Abhijānāsi no tvaṃ, ānanda, ito pubbe evarūpaṃ nāmadheyyaṃ sutaṃ yadidaṃ janavasabho”ti?

Ānanda, do you recall having previously heard such a name as Janavasabha?”

9.9

“Na kho ahaṃ, bhante, abhijānāmi ito pubbe evarūpaṃ nāmadheyyaṃ sutaṃ yadidaṃ janavasabhoti, api ca me, bhante, lomāni haṭṭhāni ‘janavasabho’ti nāmadheyyaṃ sutvā.

“No, worthy sir. But when I heard the word, I got goosebumps!

9.10

Tassa mayhaṃ, bhante, etadahosi:

I thought,

9.11

‘na hi nūna so orako yakkho bhavissati yadidaṃ evarūpaṃ nāmadheyyaṃ supaññattaṃ yadidaṃ janavasabho’”ti.

‘This must be no ordinary spirit to bear such an exalted name as Janavasabha.’”
