Tena ca samayena satthārā bhaddekarattapaṭipadāya kathitāya aññataro bhikkhu bhaddekarattasuttavasena tena sākacchaṃ karoti. So taṃ na sampāyāsi. Asampāyanto “ahaṃ anāgate tuyhaṃ bhaddekarattaṃ kathetuṃ samattho bhaveyyan”ti paṇidhānaṃ akāsi, itaro “puccheyyan”ti. Etesu paṭhamo ekaṃ buddhantaraṃ devamanussesu saṃsaritvā amhākaṃ bhagavato kāle kapilavatthusmiṃ sākiyarājakule nibbatti.

Puna devaputto “atha kasmā tayā ‘bhaddekarattaṃ katheyyan’ti saṅgaro kato, idāni pana nāmamattampi na jānāsī”ti codesi. Itaro tena saddhiṃ bhagavantaṃ upasaṅkamitvā, “mayā kira, bhante, pubbe ‘imassa bhaddekarattaṃ kathessāmī’ti saṅgaro kato”ti pucchi. Bhagavā “āma, kulaputta, kassapassa bhagavato kāle tayā evaṃ katan”ti āha. Svāyamattho uparipaṇṇāsake āgatanayena vitthārato veditabbo. Atha lomasakaṅgiyo “tena hi, bhante, pabbājetha man”ti āha. Bhagavā “na, kho, tathāgatā mātāpitūhi ananuññātaṃ puttaṃ pabbājentī”ti paṭikkhipi. So mātu santikaṃ gantvā “anujānāhi maṃ, amma, pabbajituṃ, pabbajissāmahan”ti vatvā, mātarā “tāta, sukhumālo tvaṃ kathaṃ pabbajissasī”ti vutte, “attano parissayasahanabhāvaṃ pakāsento “dabbaṃ kusaṃ poṭakilan”ti gāthaṃ abhāsi.

27. Tattha dabbanti dabbatiṇamāha, yaṃ “saddulo”tipi vuccati. Kusanti kusatiṇaṃ, yo “kāso”ti vuccati. Poṭakilanti sakaṇṭakaṃ akaṇṭakañca gacchaṃ. Idha pana sakaṇṭakameva adhippetaṃ.

Evaṃ apanento taṃ nimittaṃ dukkhaṃ sahanto araññāyatane gumbantaraṃ pavisitvā samaṇadhammaṃ kātuṃ sakkhissāmi. Ko pana vādo pādehi akkamaneti dasseti. Vivekamanubrūhayanti kāyavivekaṃ cittavivekaṃ upadhivivekañca anubrūhayanto. Gaṇasaṅgaṇikañhi pahāya kāyavivekaṃ anubrūhayantasseva aṭṭhatiṃsāya ārammaṇesu yattha katthaci cittaṃ samādahantassa cittaviveko, na saṅgaṇikāratassa.

Tena vuttaṃ “vivekamanubrūhayanti kāyavivekaṃ cittavivekaṃ upadhivivekañca anubrūhayanto”ti. Evaṃ pana puttena vutte mātā “tena hi, tāta, pabbajā”ti anujāni. So bhagavantaṃ upasaṅkamitvā pabbajjaṃ yāci. Taṃ satthā pabbājesi.

“Ekanavutito kappe, yaṃ pupphamabhipūjayiṃ;
