Samaṇo khalu, bho, gotamo campaṃ anuppatto, campāyaṃ viharati gaggarāya pokkharaṇiyā tīre.
The ascetic Gotama has arrived at Campā and is staying at the Gaggarā Lotus Pond.
6.37
Ye kho pana, bho, keci samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā amhākaṃ gāmakhettaṃ āgacchanti atithī no te honti.
Any ascetic or brahmin who comes to stay in our village district is our guest,
6.38
Atithī kho panamhehi sakkātabbā garukātabbā mānetabbā pūjetabbā apacetabbā.
and should be honored and respected as such.
6.39
Yampi, bho, samaṇo gotamo campaṃ anuppatto campāyaṃ viharati gaggarāya pokkharaṇiyā tīre, atithimhākaṃ samaṇo gotamo;
6.40
atithi kho panamhehi sakkātabbo garukātabbo mānetabbo pūjetabbo apacetabbo.
6.41
Imināpaṅgena na arahati so bhavaṃ gotamo amhākaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamituṃ.
For this reason, too, it’s not appropriate for the worthy Gotama to come to see me;
6.42
Atha kho mayameva arahāma taṃ bhavantaṃ gotamaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamituṃ.
rather, it’s appropriate for me to go to see him.
6.43
Ettake kho ahaṃ, bho, tassa bhoto gotamassa vaṇṇe pariyāpuṇāmi, no ca kho so bhavaṃ gotamo ettakavaṇṇo.
This is the extent of the worthy Gotama’s praise that I have memorized. But his praises are not confined to this,
6.44
Aparimāṇavaṇṇo hi so bhavaṃ gotamo”ti.
for the praise of the worthy Gotama is limitless.”
