[103] Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One, wandering on tour in the Kosalan country together with a large Saṅgha of bhikkhus, arrived at a brahmin village of the Kosalans named Sālā. The brahmin householders of Sālā heard: "It is said that the ascetic Gotama, the son of the Sakyans, gone forth from the Sakyan clan, wandering on tour in the Kosalan country together with a large Saṅgha of bhikkhus, has arrived at Sālā. Now concerning that worthy Gotama such a fair report of fame has spread: 'Thus indeed is that Blessed One: an Arahant (arahaṃ), a Perfectly Awakened One (sammāsambuddha), accomplished in true knowledge (vijjā) and conduct, Well-Gone (sugata), knower of the world, unsurpassed trainer of persons fit to be tamed, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed. Having realized this world with its gods, its Māras, its Brahmās, this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans, by his own direct knowledge (abhiññā), he makes it known. He teaches the Dhamma that is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with its meaning and with its phrasing; he proclaims the holy life (brahmacariya) entirely complete and pure. It is good indeed to see such Arahants.'"
Then the brahmin householders of Sālā approached the Blessed One. Having approached, some paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side; some exchanged greetings with the Blessed One and, having concluded the courteous and memorable talk, sat down to one side; some raised their joined palms in salutation toward the Blessed One and sat down to one side; some announced their name and clan in the presence of the Blessed One and sat down to one side; and some, remaining silent, sat down to one side.
