sn22.80:3.1 Then the divinity Sahampati knew the Buddha’s train of thought. As easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, he vanished from the realm of divinity and reappeared in front of the Buddha.
sn22.80:3.2 He arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his cupped palms toward the Buddha, and said:
sn22.80:3.3 “That’s so true, Blessed One! That’s so true, Holy One!
sn22.80:3.4 The Buddha has purged the mendicant Saṅgha.
sn22.80:3.5 But there are mendicants who are junior, recently gone forth, newly come to this teaching and training. …
sn22.80:3.11 May the Buddha be happy with the mendicant Saṅgha!
sn22.80:3.12 May the Buddha welcome the mendicant Saṅgha!
sn22.80:3.13 May the Buddha support the mendicant Saṅgha now as he did in the past!”
