24.1
Evaṃ vutte, te paribbājakā tuṇhībhūtā maṅkubhūtā pattakkhandhā adhomukhā pajjhāyantā appaṭibhānā nisīdiṃsu yathā taṃ mārena pariyuṭṭhitacittā.
When this was said, those wanderers sat silent, dismayed, shoulders drooping, downcast, depressed, with nothing to say, as if their minds were possessed by Māra.
24.2
Atha kho bhagavato etadahosi:
Then it occurred to the Buddha,
24.3
“sabbepime moghapurisā phuṭṭhā pāpimatā.
“All these silly people have been touched by the Wicked One!
24.4
Yatra hi nāma ekassapi na evaṃ bhavissati:
For not even a single one thinks,
24.5
‘handa mayaṃ aññāṇatthampi samaṇe gotame brahmacariyaṃ carāma, kiṃ karissati sattāho’”ti?
‘Come, let us lead the spiritual life under the ascetic Gotama for the sake of enlightenment—for what do seven days matter?’”
24.6
Atha kho bhagavā udumbarikāya paribbājakārāme sīhanādaṃ naditvā vehāsaṃ abbhuggantvā gijjhakūṭe pabbate paccupaṭṭhāsi.
Then the Buddha, having roared his lion’s roar in the lady Udumbarikā’s monastery for wanderers, rose into the air and landed on Vulture’s Peak.
24.7
Sandhāno pana gahapati tāvadeva rājagahaṃ pāvisīti.
Meanwhile, the householder Sandhāna went right back to Rājagaha.
