The Great Chapter - 128
disvāna Bhagavantaṁ etad-avoca:
and after seeing (him), he said this to the Gracious One:
“Katamena tvaṁ Mahāsamaṇa maggena āgato,
“By what path, Great Ascetic, did you come,
ahaṁ tayā paṭhamataraṁ pakkanto,
I set out earlier than you,
so tvaṁ paṭhamataraṁ āgantvā, agyāgāre nisinno.” ti
(but) you, arriving earlier, are (already) sitting down in the sacrificial firehouse.”
“Idhāhaṁ Kassapa taṁ uyyojetvā,
“Here, Kassapa, after sending you away,
yāya Jambuyā Jambudīpo paññāyati tato phalaṁ gahetvā,
picking a fruit from the Rose-Apple (tree), (after which) the Rose-Apple Island is
named,
paṭhamataraṁ āgantvā, agyāgāre nisinno.
and arriving earlier, I sat down in the sacrificial firehouse.
Idaṁ kho Kassapa jambuphalaṁ,
This is the Rose-Apple fruit, Kassapa,
vaṇṇasampannaṁ gandhasampannaṁ rasasampannaṁ,
endowed with (good) colour, scent, and taste,
sace ākaṅkhasi paribhuñjā.” ti
if you wish, you can eat (it).”
“Alaṁ Mahāsamaṇa tvaṁ yevetaṁ āharasi, tvaṁ yevetaṁ paribhuñjā.” ti
“Enough, Great Ascetic, you surely brought it, you should surely eat it.”

“Mahiddhiko kho Mahāsamaṇo mahānubhāvo,
“Powerful and majestic is this Great Ascetic,
yatra hi nāma maṁ paṭhamataraṁ uyyojetvā,
since after sending me away earlier,
yāya Jambuyā Jambudīpo paññāyati tato phalaṁ gahetvā,
picking a fruit from the Rose-Apple (tree), (after which) the Rose-Apple Island is
named,
paṭhamataraṁ āgantvā agyāgāre nisīdissati,
and arriving earlier, he can sit down in the sacrificial firehouse,
