[417] "There is, great king, a market town named Vebhaḷiga; in it dwells a potter named Ghaṭikāra. He is my supporter, my chief supporter. Now in you, great king, thinking, 'The Blessed One Kassapa, the Arahant, the Perfectly Self-Awakened One, has not accepted my invitation to spend the rains residence in Bārāṇasī,' there is indeed dismay, there is grief; but this is not found in Ghaṭikāra the potter, nor will it be.
Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, has gone to the Buddha for refuge (saraṇa), has gone to the Dhamma for refuge, has gone to the Saṅgha for refuge. Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, abstains from the destruction of life, abstains from taking what is not given, abstains from sexual misconduct, abstains from false speech, abstains from wines, liquors, and intoxicants that are a basis for heedlessness. Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, possesses confirmed confidence (aveccappasāda) in the Buddha, possesses confirmed confidence in the Dhamma, possesses confirmed confidence in the Saṅgha, and possesses the virtues dear to the noble ones. Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, is free from doubt concerning suffering (dukkha), free from doubt concerning the origin of suffering, free from doubt concerning the cessation of suffering, free from doubt concerning the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering. Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, eats but one meal a day, lives the holy life, is virtuous, of fine character. Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, has laid aside gems and gold, and has put away gold and silver. Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, does not dig the earth with a pestle nor with his own hands; whatever soil has crumbled from a riverbank or has been thrown up by mice, that he brings home with a carrying-pole, and having made a vessel he speaks thus: 'Here, let whoever wishes set down sacks of husked rice, or sacks of mung beans, or sacks of black peas, and take away what he wishes.' Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, supports his mother and father, who are old and blind. Ghaṭikāra the potter, great king, with the utter destruction of the five lower fetters, is one of spontaneous rebirth, who will attain final Nibbāna there, not subject to returning from that world."
