Now he with whom the assembly should find fault, his reputation would grow less; and he who should lose his reputation, his income would grow less. For that which we have to enjoy, that depends upon our reputation. If then, when I am seated in the assembly, I stretch forth my joined palms in salutation, let the venerable Gotama accept that from me as a rising up from my seat. And if when I am seated in the assembly I take off my turban, let the venerable Gotama accept that from me as a salutation with my head. So if, when I am in my chariot, I were to get down from the chariot to salute the venerable Gotama, the surrounders would find fault with me. If, then, when mounted on my chariot, I bend down low the staff of my goad, let the venerable Gotama accept that from me as if I had got down. And if, when mounted on my chariot, I should wave my hand, let the venerable Gotama accept that from me as if I had bowed low in salutation!’ > — Sonadanda Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha) - [Previous: 26.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.4.26.10) - [Next: 26.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.4.26.12) - [Up: 26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.4.26) ## Translations (2) - [Razgovor sa Soṇadaṇḍom](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.4~sr-brankokovacevic.26.11) — sr - [Sonadanda Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.4~en-rhysdavids.1.26) — English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.4.26.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.4.26.11) · Pramāṇa
