c11.s2.9

Ambatthasutta (“Dîgha N.”): The young Brahman Ambattha says to Buddha: ekam idâham bho Gotama samayam âcariyassa brâhmanassa Pokkharasâtissa kenacid eva karanîyena Kapilavatthum agamâsim yena Sakyânam santhâgâram ter’ upasamkamim. tena kho pana samayena sambahulâ Sakyâ c’eva Sakyakumârâ ca santhâgâre uccesu âsanesu nisinnâ honti aññamaññam añgulipatodakena samjagghantâ samkîlantâ aññadatthu maññeva mamañ ñeva anojagghantâ na nam koci âsanena pi nimantesi. tayidam bho Gotama na cchanam tayidam na ppatirûpam yad ime Sakyâ ibbhâ samânâ na brâhmane sakkaronti, etc. In the “Añg. Nik.” (vol. i, fol. kau) Bhaddiya Kâligodhâya putta is mentioned as uccâkuli-kânam agga among the Bhikkhus, apparently the same of whom “Cull.” vii, 1 speaks. Dhammacetiyasuttanta (“Majjh. N.;” King Pasenadi is speaking): bhagavâ pi Kosalako aham pi Kosalako. The supremacy of Pasenadi over the Sakyas appears from the following passage: Sakyâ kho pana Vâsettha rañño Pasenadikosalassa anantarâ anuyuttâ bhavanti; karonti kho Vâsettha Sakyâ raññe Pasenadimhi Kosale nipaccakâram abhivâdanam paccutthânam añjalikammam sâmîcikammam (Aggaññasutta, “Dîgha N.”).
