with his senses under no firm control, devoted to inquiries regarding
the frying-pan.
106. ‘We will not ask after his health, nor rise to meet him, nor
address him, nor offer him a welcome, nor a seat, nor bid him enter
into our dwelling.’
107. Having understood their agreement, with a smiling countenance,
spreading light all around, Buddha advanced gradually nearer, holding
his staff and his begging-pot.
108. Forgetful of their agreement, the five friends, under his
constraining majesty, rose up like birds in their cages when scorched
by fire.
109. Having taken his begging-bowl and staff, they gave him an
arghya, and water for washing his feet and rinsing his mouth; and
bowing reverentially they said to him, ‘Honoured Sir, health to thee.’
110. ‘Health in every respect is ours, – that wisdom has been attained
which is so hard to be won,’ – so saying, the holy one thus spoke to
the five worthy associates:
111. ‘But address me not as "worthy Sir," know that I am a Jina, – I
have come to give the first wheel of the Law to you. Receive
initiation from me, – ye shall obtain the place of Nirvāṇa.’
