ŚĀ 6.3 = KU 4.3
Bālāki said: 'The person who is here in the sun—him indeed I venerate.' Ajātaśatru said to him: 'Do not challenge me on this! "The great, clad in white garments, pre-eminent, the head of all beings"—thus indeed do I venerate him.' Whoever venerates him thus becomes pre-eminent, the head of all beings.
