With Soṇadaṇḍa 1.6.4

1.6.4

‘Truly, Sirs, the Samaṇa Gotama has now arrived at Campā, and is staying on the shores of the Gaggarā. Lake. But all Samaṇas and Brahmans who come into our village borders are our guests. And guests we ought to esteem and honour, to venerate and revere. And as he is now so come, he ought to be so treated, as a guest.
‘For each and all of these considerations it is not fitting that the Samaṇa Gotama should call upon us, but rather does it behove us to call upon him. And so far only do I know the excellencies of the Samaṇa Gotama, but these are not all of them, for his excellence is beyond measure.’
