[332] "Again, Udāyī, my disciples — swamped by suffering (dukkha), afflicted by suffering, by whatever suffering it may be — approach me and ask about the noble truth (ariyasacca) of suffering. Being asked about the noble truth of suffering, I answer them; and I satisfy their minds (citta) with my answer to the question. They approach me and ask about the noble truth of the origin of suffering … the cessation of suffering … the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering. Being asked about the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering, I answer them; and I satisfy their minds with my answer to the question. Since, Udāyī, my disciples — swamped by suffering, afflicted by suffering, by whatever suffering it may be — approach me and ask about the noble truth of suffering, and being asked about the noble truth of suffering, I answer them, and I satisfy their minds with my answer to the question; and since they approach me and ask about the noble truth of the origin of suffering … the cessation of suffering … the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering, and being asked about the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering, I answer them, and I satisfy their minds with my answer to the question — this, Udāyī, is the fourth quality (dhamma) because of which my disciples honor, respect, esteem, and venerate me, and, honoring and respecting me, dwell in dependence on me."
