[594] Then the brahmin Brahmāyu approached the Blessed One. That assembly saw the brahmin Brahmāyu coming while still far off; on seeing him, they drew aside and made way for him, as befits one who is well-known and famous. Then the brahmin Brahmāyu said to that assembly: "Enough, sirs; sit on your own seats. I shall sit here in the presence of the ascetic Gotama."
Then the brahmin Brahmāyu approached the Blessed One; having approached, he exchanged greetings with the Blessed One, and when the courteous and memorable talk was concluded, he sat down at one side. Seated at one side, the brahmin Brahmāyu scrutinized the Blessed One's body for the thirty-two marks of a great man (mahāpurisalakkhaṇa). The brahmin Brahmāyu saw on the Blessed One's body the thirty-two marks of a great man for the most part, except for two; concerning two marks of a great man he doubted, was uncertain, could not decide, was not convinced: concerning the male organ enclosed in a sheath (kosohita vatthaguyha) and concerning the largeness of the tongue.
Then the brahmin Brahmāyu addressed the Blessed One in verses:
"The marks of a great man that I have heard of as thirty-two —
of these, two I do not see upon the worthy Gotama's body.
Is that which is concealed by a garment enclosed in a sheath, O supreme among men?
Though called by a name of feminine gender, is your tongue perhaps a manly one?
Are you perhaps large-tongued, so that we may know this as it is?
Extend forth that slender [tongue]; dispel our doubt, O seer,
for welfare and benefit in the present life, and for happiness in the life to come.
Being granted the opportunity, we would ask whatever we may desire."
