Evaṃ me sutaṃ—  ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā lakuṇḍakabhaddiyo sambahulānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami.

Addasā kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ lakuṇḍakabhaddiyaṃ dūratova sambahulānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito āgacchantaṃ dubbaṇṇaṃ duddasikaṃ okoṭimakaṃ yebhuyyena bhikkhūnaṃ paribhūtarūpaṃ. Disvāna bhikkhū āmantesi—

“Passatha no tumhe, bhikkhave, etaṃ bhikkhuṃ dūratova sambahulānaṃ bhikkhūnaṃ piṭṭhito piṭṭhito āgacchantaṃ dubbaṇṇaṃ duddasikaṃ okoṭimakaṃ yebhuyyena bhikkhūnaṃ paribhūtarūpan”ti?

Anīghaṃ passa āyantaṃ,
