6.1
Assosi kho bhagavā dibbāya sotadhātuyā visuddhāya atikkantamānusikāya sandhānassa gahapatissa nigrodhena paribbājakena saddhiṃ imaṃ kathāsallāpaṃ.
With clairaudience that is purified and superhuman, the Buddha heard this discussion between the householder Sandhāna and the wanderer Nigrodha.
6.2
Atha kho bhagavā gijjhakūṭā pabbatā orohitvā yena sumāgadhāya tīre moranivāpo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā sumāgadhāya tīre moranivāpe abbhokāse caṅkami.
Then the Buddha descended from Vulture’s Peak Mountain and went to the peacocks’ feeding ground on the bank of the Sumāgadhā, where he walked mindfully in the open air.
6.3
Addasā kho nigrodho paribbājako bhagavantaṃ sumāgadhāya tīre moranivāpe abbhokāse caṅkamantaṃ.
Nigrodha saw him,
6.4
Disvāna sakaṃ parisaṃ saṇṭhāpesi:
and hushed his own assembly:
6.5
“appasaddā bhonto hontu, mā bhonto saddamakattha, ayaṃ samaṇo gotamo sumāgadhāya tīre moranivāpe abbhokāse caṅkamati.
“Be quiet, good fellows, don’t make a sound. Here, the ascetic Gotama is walking mindfully on the bank of the Sumāgadhā.
6.6
Appasaddakāmo kho pana so āyasmā, appasaddassa vaṇṇavādī.
The venerable likes quiet and praises quiet.
6.7
Appeva nāma appasaddaṃ parisaṃ viditvā upasaṅkamitabbaṃ maññeyya.
Hopefully if he sees that our assembly is quiet he’ll see fit to approach.
6.8
Sace samaṇo gotamo imaṃ parisaṃ āgaccheyya, imaṃ taṃ pañhaṃ puccheyyāma:
If he comes, I’ll ask him this question:
6.9
‘ko nāma so, bhante, bhagavato dhammo, yena bhagavā sāvake vineti, yena bhagavatā sāvakā vinītā assāsappattā paṭijānanti ajjhāsayaṃ ādibrahmacariyan’”ti?
‘Sir, what teaching do you use to guide your disciples, through which they claim solace in the fundamental goal of the spiritual life?’”
6.10
Evaṃ vutte, te paribbājakā tuṇhī ahesuṃ.
Then those wanderers fell silent.
