<strong>The</strong>n at that time people, after seeing the monks, scolded them with this verse:<br />

“Āgato kho Mahāsamaṇo Māgadhānaṁ Giribbajaṁ<br />

“<strong>The</strong> <strong>Great</strong> Ascetic has come to Giribbaja in Magadha<br />

Sabbe Sañjaye netvāna, kaṁ su dāni nayissatī” ti<br />

After leading off all those under Sañjaya, who will he lead off now”<br />

“Nayanti ve Mahāvīrā Saddhammena Tathāgatā,<br />

“<strong>The</strong> <strong>Great</strong> Heros, the Realised Ones, lead with the True Dhamma,<br />

Dhammena nayamānānaṁ, kā usuyyā vijānatan”-ti<br />

“Manussā Dhammena kira samaṇā Sakyaputtiyā,<br />

“It seems the people and ascetics (are led) with Dhamma by the Sakyan son,<br />

nenti no adhammenā.” ti<br />
