# With Kūṭadanta 4.13

Kūṭadantasutta 4.13

- **Language:** Pāli

### [4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.5.4.13)

‘āgamentu kira bhonto, kūṭadantopi brāhmaṇo samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamissatī’”ti.

> Then Kūṭadanta thought: ‘I have heard that the Samaṇa Gotama understands about the successful performance of a sacrifice with its threefold method and its sixteen accessory instruments. Now I don’t know all this, and yet I want to carry out a sacrifice.  It would be well for me to go to the Samaṇa Gotama, and ask him about it.’  
> So he sent his doorkeeper to the Brahmans and householders of Khānumata, to ask them to wait till he could go with them to call upon the Blessed One.  
> — Kutadanta Sutta (Dialogues of the Buddha)
