Buddhacarita by Ven Asvaghosa - Ancient Buddhist Texts

Buddha-carita, or Life of Buddha - 196
83. Buddha, the chief of saints, absorbed in contemplation, shone
forth, arousing the world, having emitted in the darkness of the night
a light from the tuft of hair between his eyebrows.
84. When it became dawn, Brahman and the other gods, and the
various rulers of the different worlds, besought Sugata to turn the
wheel of the Law.
85. When the Jina by his silence uttered an assenting ‘so be it,’ they
returned to their own abodes; and the lion of the Śākyas also shone
there, still remaining lost in contemplation.
86. Then the four divinities (of the Bodhi tree), Dharmaruci and the
rest, addressed him, ‘Where, O teacher of the world, will the holy one
turn the wheel of the Law’
87. ‘In Vārāṇasī, in the Deer Park will I turn the wheel of the Law;
seated in the fourth posture O deities, I will deliver the world.’
88. There the holy one, the bull of the Śākya race, pondered, ‘For
whom shall I first turn the wheel of the Law’
89. The glorious one reflected that Rudraka and Arāḍa were dead,
and then he remembered those others, the five men united in a worthy
society, who dwelt at Kāśī.
90. Then Buddha set out to go joyfully to Kāśī, manifesting as he
went the manifold supernatural course of life of Magadha.
