PāliPali
At Sāvatthī. Then Venerable Sujāta went to the Buddha. The Buddha saw him coming off in the distance, and addressed the mendicants: “This gentleman shines in both ways. He’s attractive, good-looking, lovely, of surpassing beauty. And he has realized the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. He lives having achieved with his own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.” That is what the Buddha said. Then the Holy One, the Teacher, went on to say:
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati. Atha kho āyasmā sujāto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami. Addasā kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ sujātaṁ dūratova āgacchantaṁ. Disvāna bhikkhū āmantesi: “ubhayenevāyaṁ, bhikkhave, kulaputto sobhati— yañca abhirūpo dassanīyo pāsādiko paramāya vaṇṇapokkharatāya samannāgato, yassa catthāya kulaputtā sammadeva agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajanti tadanuttaraṁ brahmacariyapariyosānaṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharatī”ti. Idamavoca bhagavā …pe… satthā:
“This mendicant truly shines. His heart is upright, he’s unfettered, detached, quenched by not grasping. He bears his final body, having vanquished Māra with his legions.”
“Sobhati vatāyaṁ bhikkhu, ujubhūtena cetasā; Vippayutto visaṁyutto, anupādāya nibbuto; Dhāreti antimaṁ dehaṁ, jetvā māraṁ savāhinin”ti. Pañcamaṁ.
