dn5:2.1 The brahmins and householders of Khāṇumata heard:
dn5:2.2 “It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—has arrived at Khāṇumata and is staying at Ambalaṭṭhikā.
dn5:2.3 He has this good reputation:
dn5:2.4 ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’
dn5:2.5 He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others.
dn5:2.6 He teaches Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure.
dn5:2.7 It’s good to see such perfected ones.”
dn5:2.8 Then, exiting Khāṇumata, they formed into companies and headed to Ambalaṭṭhikā.
