I think "sakyakulaa" must be ablative case, so a more
literal translation would be "it is the ascetic
Gotama, gone forth from the Sakya clan"; this would
also mean, I think, that as "sakyakulaa pabbajito", he
has formally left the clan and is no longer a member
of it, which "of the Sakyan clan" doesn't show.
