3. ”Ask me, O Sabhiya, a question; whatsoever thou wishest in thy mind that question I (will explain, and) put an end to (thy doubt).” (512)
Then this came to the mind of Sabhiya, the Paribbâgaka: ”It is marvellous, it is wonderful indeed, the reception which I did not get from other Samanas and Brâhmanas has been given me by Gotama,” so saying he glad, rejoicing, delighted, and highly elated asked Bhagavat a question:
4. ”What should a man (necessarily) have obtained that people may call him a Bhikkhu
”--so said Sabhiya,--”how may they call him compassionate, and how subdued
how can he be called enlightened (buddha)
Asked (about this) do thou, Bhagavat, explain it to me.” (513)
5. ”He who by the path he has himself made, O Sabhiya,”--so said Bhagavat,--”has attained to perfect happiness, who has conquered doubt, who lives after having left behind both gain and goods, who has destroyed re-birth, he is a Bhikkhu. (514)
6. ”Always resigned and attentive, he will not hurt any one in all the world, the Samana who has

crossed the stream (of existence, and is) untroubled; for whom there are no desires (ussada), he is compassionate. (515)
7. ”He whose senses are trained internally and externally in all the world, he who after penetrating this and the other world longs for death, being trained, he is subdued. (516)
8. ”Whosoever, after having considered all times (kappa), the revolution (samsâra), both the vanishing and re-appearance (of beings), is free from defilement, free from sin, is pure, and has obtained destruction of birth, him they call enlightened (buddha).” (517)
Then Sabhiya, the Paribbâgaka, having approved of and rejoiced at the words of Bhagavat, glad, rejoicing, delighted, highly elated, asked Bhagavat another question:
9. ”What should a man (necessarily) have obtained that people may call him a Brâmana
”--so said Sabhiya,--”and how (may they call him) a Samana
and how a Nahâtaka
how can he be called a Nâga
Asked (about this) do thou Bhagavat explain it to me.” (518)
10. ”He who, after removing all sins, O Sabhiya,”--so said Bhagavat,--”is immaculate, well composed, firm-minded, perfect after crossing the Samsâra, such an independent one is called a Brâmana. (519)
11. ”He who is calm, having left behind good and evil, free from defilement, having understood this and the other world, and conquered birth and death, such a one is called a Samana by being so[1].” (520)
12. ”Whosoever, after having washed away all sins internally and externally in all the world, does

not enter time (kappa) amongst gods and men who are subject to time, him they call a Nahâtaka (cleansed)[1]. (521)
13. ”He who does not commit any crime in the world, who, after abandoning all bonds and fetters, clings to nothing, being liberated, such a one is called a Nâga (sinless) by being so[2].” (522)
Then Sabhiya, the Paribbâgaka, having approved of and rejoiced at the words of Bhagavat, glad, rejoicing, delighted, highly elated, further asked Bhagavat a question:
14. ”Whom do the Buddhas call a Khettagina
”--so said Sabhiya,--”how (can they call any one) a Kusala
and how a Pandita
how can he be called a Muni
Asked (about this) do thou Bhagavat explain it to me.” (523)
15. ”He who, after examining all regions, O Sabhiya,”--so said Bhagavat,--”the pine and the human, and Brahman”s region, is delivered from the radical bond of all regions, such a one is called a Khettagina (he who has conquere…
