[96] When this was said, Prince Abhaya said to the Blessed One: "Magnificent, venerable sir! Magnificent, venerable sir! Just as if one were to set upright what had been overturned, or to reveal what was hidden, or to point out the way to one who was lost, or to hold up an oil lamp in the darkness so that those with eyes might see forms — even so has the Dhamma been made clear by the Blessed One in many ways. I, venerable sir, go to the Blessed One for refuge, and to the Dhamma, and to the Saṅgha of bhikkhus. May the Blessed One remember me as a lay follower (upāsaka) who has gone for refuge for life, from this day forward."
The Abhayarājakumāra Sutta, the eighth, is finished.
