Note:

1. anubaddhā (ka. sī. pī.)


English:

1. Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Exalted One was travelling
along the highway between Rājagaha and Nālandā together with a great
company of bhikkhus, with about five hundred bhikkhus. At the same time
the wanderer Suppiya was also travelling along the highway between
Rājagaha and Nālandā together with his pupil, the youth Brahmadatta.
Along the way, the wanderer Suppiya spoke in many ways in dispraise of
the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. But his pupil, the youth
Brahmadatta, spoke in many ways in praise of the Buddha, the Dhamma, and
the Sangha. Thus these two, teacher and pupil, followed closely behind
the Exalted One and the company of bhikkhus, making assertions in direct
contradiction to each other.
