Then a number of monks from the (Blessed Oneâs) native land, having completed the Rains Retreat in the native land, went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat to one side. As they were sitting there, the Blessed One said to them, "Monks, whom in our native land do the native-land monks—his companions in the holy life—esteem in this way: ), # Right single quote ('â', Modest himself, he gives talks to the monks on modesty. Contented himself, he gives talks to the monks on contentment. Secluded himself, he gives talks to the monks on seclusion. Unentangled himself, he gives talks to the monks on non-entanglement. Having aroused persistence in himself, he gives talks to the monks on arousing persistence. Consummate in his own virtue, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in virtue. Consummate in his own concentration, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in concentration. Consummate in his own discernment, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in discernment. Consummate in his own release, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in release. Consummate in his own knowledge & vision of release, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in the knowledge & vision of release.1 He is one who exhorts, informs, instructs, urges, rouses, & encourages his companions in the holy life.â" "Lord, the monk named Puṃṃa Mantṅṃiputta [Mantṅṃiâs son] is esteemed by the native-land monks—his companions in the holy life—in this way: ), # Right single quote ('â', Modest himself, he gives talks to the monks on modesty. Contented himself, he gives talks to the monks on contentment. Secluded himself, he gives talks to the monks on seclusion. Unentangled himself, he gives talks to the monks on non-entanglement. Having aroused persistence in himself, he gives talks to the monks on arousing persistence. Consummate in his own virtue, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in virtue. Consummate in his own concentration, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in concentration. Consummate in his own discernment, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in discernment. Consummate in his own release, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in release. Consummate in his own knowledge & vision of release, he gives talks to the monks on becoming consummate in the knowledge & vision of release. He is one who exhorts, informs, instructs, urges, rouses, & encourages his companions in the holy life.â" Now at that time Ven. Sṅriputta was sitting not far from the Blessed One. The thought occurred to him: "Itâs a gain, a great gain for Ven. Puṃṃa Mantṅṃiputta that his observant companions in the holy life speak his praise point by point in the presence of the Teacher, and that the Teacher seconds that praise. Maybe sometime or other I, too, will go to meet with Ven. Puṃṃa Mantṅṃiputta; maybe Iâll have some conversation with him." Then the Blessed One, having stayed at Rṅjagaha as long as he liked, set out wandering to Sṅvatthī. Wandering by stages, he arrived there and stayed in Jetaâs Grove, Anṅthapiṃṇikaâs monastery. Ven. Puṃṃa Mantṅṃiputta heard, "The Blessed One has arrived at Sṅvatthī and is staying near Sṅvatthī in Jetaâs Grove, Anṅthapiṃṇikaâs monastery." Setting his lodgings in order and taking his robes & bowl, he set out wandering to Sṅvatthī. Wandering by stages, he went to where the Blessed One was staying in Jetaâs Grove, Anṅthapiṃṇikaâs monastery. On arrival, having bowed down to the Blessed One, he sat to one side. As he was sitting there, the Blessed One instructed, urged, roused, & encouraged him with a Dhamma talk. Then Ven. Puṃṃa—instructed, urged, roused, & encouraged with the Blessed Oneâs Dhamma talk; delighting & approving of the Blessed Oneâs words—got up from his seat, bowed down to the Blessed One, circumambulated him, and went to the Grove of the Blind for the dayâs abiding. Then a certain monk went to Ven. Sṅriputta and, on arrival, said to him: "Friend Sṅriputta, the monk named Puṃṃa Mantṅṃiputta whom you have so often praised—instructed, urged, roused, & encouraged with the Blessed Oneâs Dhamma talk; delighting & approving of the Blessed Oneâs words—has gotten up from his seat, bowed down to the Blessed One, circumambulated him, and has gone to the Grove of the Blind for the dayâs abiding." So Ven. Sṅriputta quickly picked up a sitting cloth and followed right behind Ven. Puṃṃa, keeping his head in sight
