[731] When this was said, Subha the brahmin student, Todeyya's son, said to the Blessed One: "Excellent, Master Gotama! Excellent, Master Gotama! Just as, Master Gotama, one might set upright what has been overturned, or reveal what has been hidden, or point out the way to one who is 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. I go to Master Gotama for refuge, and to the Dhamma, and to the Saṅgha of bhikkhus. May Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower (upāsaka) who has gone for refuge for life from this day forth. And now, Master Gotama, we must go; we are busy and have much to do."
"Do now, student, what you think it is time to do."
Then Subha the brahmin student, Todeyya's son, having delighted in the Blessed One's words, rose from his seat, paid homage to the Blessed One, circumambulated him keeping him on the right, and departed.
