[Looking at the Vidūṣaka] We are listening to what the noble sir wishes to say.
Vidūṣaka: [Looking at Gaṇadāsa] Ask the witness first; afterwards I will state what break in the sequence was observed by me.
Gaṇadāsa: Reverend lady, let fault or merit be stated just as it was seen.
1. [Sanskrit chāyā]: Does the noble sir indeed take Gautama's word to heart?
2. [Sanskrit chāyā]: Ask the witness first; afterwards I will state what break in the sequence was observed by me.
