དེ་འདི་སྙམ་དུ་སེམས་ཏེ། དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པ་དགྲ་བཅོམ་པ་ཡང་དག་པར་རྫོགས་པའི་སངས་རྒྱས་དེ་ལྟ་བུ་དག་མཐོང་ན་ལེགས་པར་འགྱུར་གྱིས་བདག་དགེ་སྦྱོང་གཽ་ཏ་མ་དེ་བལྟ་བའི་ཕྱིར་འགྲོའོ་སྙམ་མོ། །
The householder Bhadrapāla heard that the ascetic Gautama, who had renounced the Śākya clan and become a mendicant, was traveling in Magadha together with a great community of mendicants, 1,250 strong, that he had arrived at the great city of Rājagṛha, that he was now staying on Vulture’s Peak near the city, and that he was being greeted with elegant and generous words of praise. “Such indeed is the Lord: He is a tathāgata, an arhat, a fully accomplished buddha, perfect in wisdom and conduct, a sugata. He is a knower of the world, an unsurpassable guide for men ready to be disciplined, a teacher of gods and humans, awakened, a lord. [MS.2.a] He teaches the true Dharma, which is excellent in the beginning, excellent in the middle, excellent in the end, and accurate in meaning and well expressed, and he reveals the life of purity that is simple, complete, perfect, and pure.”
