The Great Chapter - 170 ‘Kaṁsi tvaṁ āvuso uddissa pabbajito, ‘On account of whom, friend, did you go forth, ko vā te Satthā, kassa vā tvaṁ Dhammaṁ rocesī’ ” ti who is your teacher, what Dhamma do you prefer’ ” Atha kho Sāriputtassa paribbājakassa etad-ahosi: Then this occurred to the wanderer Sāriputta: “Akālo kho imaṁ bhikkhuṁ pucchituṁ, “This is the wrong time to ask the monk, antaragharaṁ paviṭṭho piṇḍāya carati. he has entered amongst the houses for alms. Yan-nūnāhaṁ imaṁ bhikkhuṁ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito anubandheyyaṁ Now what if I were to follow along closely behind 210 this monk atthikehi upaññātaṁ maggan” ti with a desire (to find) the path he has found” Atha kho āyasmā Assaji, Rājagahe piṇḍāya caritvā Then the venerable Assaji, after walking for alms in Rājagaha piṇḍapātaṁ ādāya paṭikkami. and taking his alms food, went back. Atha kho Sāriputto paribbājako yenāyasmā Assaji tenupasaṅkami, Then the wanderer Sāriputta approached the venerable Assaji, upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā Assajinā saddhiṁ sammodi, and after approaching he exchanged greetings with the venerable Assaji, sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sārāṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā, ekam-antaṁ aṭṭhāsi. and after exchanging polite and courteous greetings, he stood on one side. Ekam-antaṁ ṭhito kho Sāriputto paribbājako While standing on one side the wanderer Sāriputta āyasmantaṁ Assajiṁ etad-avoca: said this to the venerable Assaji: “Vippasannāni kho te āvuso indriyāni, parisuddho chavivaṇṇo pariyodāto, “Your faculties, friend, are very clear, purified is your skin and bright, 210 Word repetition normally signifies emphasis in Pāḷi: piṭṭhito = behind, piṭṭhito piṭṭhito = closely behind.
IV. In Rājagaha - 171 kaṁsi tvaṁ āvuso uddissa pabbajito, on account of whom, friend, did you go forth, ko vā te Satthā, kassa vā tvaṁ Dhammaṁ rocesī” ti who is your teacher, what Dhamma do you prefer” “Atthāvuso Mahāsamaṇo Sakyaputto Sakyakulā pabbajito, “There is, friend, a Great Ascetic, a Sakyan Son, who has gone forth from the Sakya family, tāhaṁ Bhagavantaṁ uddissa pabbajito, on account of that Gracious One I went forth, so ca me Bhagavā Satthā, tassa cāhaṁ Bhagavato Dhammaṁ rocemī.” ti that Gracious One is my Teacher, that Gracious One’s Dhamma I prefer.” “Kiṁvādī panāyasmato Satthā kim-akkhāyī” ti “But what is the doctrine of the venerable’s Teacher, what does he say” “Ahaṁ kho āvuso navo acirapabbajito, “I am new, friend, one not long gone forth, adhunāgato imaṁ Dhammavinayaṁ, recently come to this Dhamma and Discipline, 211 na tāhaṁ sakkomi vitthārena Dhammaṁ desetuṁ, I am not able to teach the Dhamma at length, api ca te saṅkhittena atthaṁ vakkhāmī.” ti but I can explain the meaning to you in brief.” Atha kho Sāriputto paribbājako āyasmantaṁ Assajiṁ etad-avoca: “Hotu āvuso, Then the wanderer Sāriputta said this to the venerable Assaji: “Friend, Appaṁ vā bahuṁ vā bhāsassu atthaṁ yeva me brūhi, Speak little or much, but tell the meaning to me, Attheneva me attho, kiṁ kāhasi byañjanaṁ bahun”-ti The meaning is useful to me, what to do with many words” 212 211 This Assaji is always identified as one of the group-of-five disciples, who listened to the Discourse that Set the Dhamma Wheel Rolling and became a Worthy One while listening to the Discourse on the Characteristic of Non-Self --- he was one of the five most senior disciples in the Saṅgha. It is hard to reconcile these facts with his self-characterisation here. Also there is no mention of Assaji accompanying the Buddha to Rājagaha. Assaji must have been a common name at the time, and I think it likely we are dealing with a different Assaji here to the one whom we met in Isipatana. 212 Byañjana literally means syllable in this context.
