[560] Then it occurred to the Blessed One: "It is for the fulfillment of the unfulfilled aggregate of virtue (sīlakkhandha) that I would honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on another ascetic or brahmin. But in this world with its devas, with Māra, with Brahmā, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its devas and humans, I do not see another ascetic or brahmin more accomplished in virtue than myself, whom I could honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on. It is for the fulfillment of the unfulfilled aggregate of concentration (samādhikkhandha) that I would honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on another ascetic or brahmin. But I do not see in this world with its devas … another ascetic or brahmin more accomplished in concentration (samādhi) than myself, whom I could honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on. It is for the fulfillment of the unfulfilled aggregate of wisdom (paññākkhandha) that I would honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on another ascetic or brahmin. But in this world with its devas, with Māra, with Brahmā, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its devas and humans, I do not see another ascetic or brahmin more accomplished in wisdom than myself, whom I could honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on. It is for the fulfillment of the unfulfilled aggregate of liberation (vimuttikkhandha) that I would honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on another ascetic or brahmin. But I do not see in this world with its devas … another ascetic or brahmin more accomplished in liberation than myself, whom I could honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on. It is for the fulfillment of the unfulfilled aggregate of the knowledge (ñāṇa) and vision of liberation (vimuttiñāṇadassanakkhandha) that I would honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on another ascetic or brahmin. But in this world with its devas, with Māra, with Brahmā, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its devas and humans, I do not see another ascetic or brahmin more accomplished in the knowledge and vision of liberation than myself, whom I could honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on. Suppose, then, that I were to honor, respect, and dwell in dependence on this very Dhamma to which I have fully awakened."
