So yāvajīvaṃ tathāgataṃ paricaritvā devamanussesu saṃsaranto imasmiṃ buddhuppāde rājagahanagare brāhmaṇakule paṭisandhiṃ gaṇhi , rādhamāṇavotissa nāmaṃ akaṃsu .

So mahallakakāle attano puttadārena abahumato ‘‘ pabbajitvā kālaṃ vītināmessāmī ’’ ti vihāraṃ gantvā there pabbajjaṃ yāci .

‘‘ Jiṇṇo mahallakabrāhmaṇo ’’ ti na koci pabbājetuṃ icchi .

Satthā tassa upanissayasampattiṃ disvā kathaṃ samuṭṭhāpetukāmo ‘‘ kiṃ , brāhmaṇa , puttadārā taṃ paṭijaggantī ’’ ti ?

Satthā sāriputtattherassa saññaṃ adāsi .

Thero satthu vacanaṃ sirasā sampaṭicchitvā rādhabrāhmaṇaṃ pabbājetvā cintesi –

‘‘ satthā imaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ sādarena pabbajāpesi , na kho me etaṃ anādarena pariharituṃ vaṭṭatī ’’ ti rādhattheraṃ ādāya gāmakāvāsaṃ agamāsi .

Tatrassa adhunā pabbajitattā kicchalābhissa thero attano pattaṃ āvāsaṃ deti , attano pattaṃ paṇītapiṇḍapātampi tasseva datvā sayaṃ piṇḍāya carati .

Rādhatthero senāsanasappāyañca bhojanasappāyañca labhitvā sāriputtattherassa santike kammaṭṭhānaṃ gahetvā nacirasseva arahattaṃ pāpuṇi .

Atha naṃ thero gahetvā dasabalaṃ passituṃ āgato .

Atīte , bhikkhave , pabbatapādamhi pañcasatamattā vaḍḍhakipurisā mahāaraññaṃ pavisitvā dabbasambhāre chinditvā mahāuḷumpaṃ bandhitvā nadiyā otārenti .

Te nivattitvā hatthiṃ disvā bhītā palāyanti .

So tesaṃ palāyanabhāvaṃ ñatvā aṭṭhāsi , puna ṭhitakāle anubandhi .

Vaḍḍhakijeṭṭhako cintesi –

Tadā vaḍḍhakīnaṃ saññā udapādi –

Vaḍḍhakino hatthipotakaṃ disvā ‘‘ amhākaṃ hatthī puttampi gahetvā āgato ’’ ti ativiya tuṭṭhacittā ahesuṃ .

Bhojanakāle ekekaṃ bhattapiṇḍaṃ denti , bhattaṃ tassa yāvadatthaṃ ahosi .

So vaḍḍhakīhi antogahane koṭṭitaṃ dabbasambhāraṃ āharitvā aṅgaṇaṭṭhāne rāsiṃ karoti .

Eteneva niyāmena aññampi upakārakammaṃ karoti .

SatthāP1.331 imaṃ kāraṇaṃ āharitvā pubbepi sāriputtassa kataññūkatavedibhāvaṃ dīpeti .

Sāriputtatthero hi tadā mahāhatthī ahosi , aṭṭhuppattiyaṃ āgato ossaṭṭhavīriyo bhikkhu hatthipotako ahosi .

Saṃyuttanikāyaṃ pana patvā sakalaṃ rādhasaṃyuttaṃ , dhammapade ca –
