There he addressed the monks, "Monks!" "Yes, lord," the monks responded to the Blessed One. The Blessed One said, "In the past, monks, was a king named Aruṃavant whose royal city was named Aruṃavatī. And in dependence on that royal city of Aruṃavatī there dwelled Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened. And Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, had a pair of disciples named Abhibhū & Sambhava as his foremost pair, his excellent pair. "Then Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, addressed the monk Abhibhū: ), # Right single quote ('â', Come, brahman, letâs go to a certain Brahmṅ world until the time for the meal.â "), # Right single quote ('â', As you say, lord,â the monk Abhibhū responded to Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened. "Then—just as a strong man might extend his flexed arm or flex his extended arm—Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, & the monk Abhibhū disappeared from the royal city of Aruṃavatī and reappeared in that Brahmṅ world. "Then Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, addressed the monk Abhibhū: ), # Right single quote ('â', Let a Dhamma talk come to you, brahman, for Brahmṅ, Brahmṅâs retinue, & Brahmṅâs assembly.â "Responding, ), # Right single quote ('â', As you say, lord,â to Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, the monk Abhibhū instructed, urged, roused, & encouraged Brahmṅ, Brahmṅâs retinue, & Brahmṅâs assembly with a Dhamma talk. "With that, Brahmṅ, Brahmṅâs retinue, & Brahmṅâs assembly were indignant, annoyed, & complained: ), # Right single quote ('â', Isnât it amazing, good sirs! Isnât it astounding! How can this disciple, in the presence of his teacher, teach the Dhamma?â "Then Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, addressed the monk Abhibhū: ), # Right single quote ('â', Brahmṅ, Brahmṅâs retinue, & Brahmṅâs assembly are indignant & annoyed with you. They complain: "Isnât it amazing, good sirs! Isnât it astounding! How can this disciple, in the presence of his teacher, teach the Dhamma?" Very well then, strike terror in Brahmṅ, Brahmṅâs retinue, & Brahmṅâs assembly to an even greater degree.â "Responding, ), # Right single quote ('â', As you say, lord,â to Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, the monk Abhibhū taught the Dhamma with his body visible, taught the Dhamma with his body invisible, taught the Dhamma with the lower half of his body visible & the upper half invisible, taught the Dhamma with the upper half of his body visible & the lower half invisible. "With that, the minds of Brahmṅ, Brahmṅâs retinue, & Brahmṅâs assembly were overcome with amazement & astonishment: ), # Right single quote ('â', Isnât it amazing, good sirs! Isnât it astounding!—the contemplativeâs great power & great might!â "Then the monk Abhibhū said to Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, ), # Right single quote ('â', I recall, lord, having made this statement while standing in the midst of the Saṃgha of monks: "I can, friends, while standing in the Brahmṅ world, make my voice heard throughout the thousand-fold cosmos."â "), # Right single quote ('â', This is the time, brahman! This is the time, brahman, for you, while standing in the Brahmṅ world, to make your voice heard throughout the thousand-fold cosmos!â "Responding, ), # Right single quote ('â', As you say, lord,â to Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, the monk Abhibhū, while standing in the Brahmṅ world, recited these verses: ), # Right single quote ('â', Rouse yourselves. Go forth. Commit yourselves to the Awakened Oneâs bidding. Scatter the army of Death as an elephant would a shed made of reeds. He who, in this Dhamma & Vinaya, stays heedful, abandoning birth, the wandering-on, will put an end to suffering & stress.â "Then—having struck terror in Brahmṅ, Brahmṅâs retinue, & Brahmṅâs assembly—Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, & the monk Abhibhū—just as a strong man might extend his flexed arm or flex his extended arm—disappeared from that Brahmṅ world and reappeared in the royal city of Aruṃavatī. "Then, monks, Sikhī the Blessed One, worthy & fully self-awakened, addressed the monks, ), # Right single quote ('â', Monks, did you hear the monk Abhibhū reciting verses while standing in the Brahmṅ world?â "), # Right single quote ('â', Lord, we heard the monk Abhibhū reciting verses while standing in the Brahmṅ world.â "), # Right single quote ('â', But what verses did you hear the monk Abhibhū reciting while standing in the Brahmṅ world?â ")
