[492] When this was said, the brahmins and householders of Verañjā said to the Blessed One: "Magnificent, Master Gotama! Magnificent, Master Gotama! Just as, Master Gotama, one might set upright what had been overturned, or uncover what had been concealed, or point out the way to one who was lost, or hold up an oil lamp in the darkness so that those with eyes might see forms — even so has the Dhamma been made clear in many ways by Master Gotama. We here go to Master Gotama for refuge, and to the Dhamma, and to the Saṅgha of bhikkhus. May Master Gotama remember us as lay followers (upāsaka) who have gone for refuge from this day forth for as long as life lasts."
The Verañjaka Sutta, the second, is finished.
