[697] Then the brahmin Mānatthaddha, thinking, "The ascetic Gotama knows my mind (citta)," fell right there with his head at the Blessed One's feet; he kissed the Blessed One's feet with his mouth and stroked them with his hands, and he announced his name: "I am Mānatthaddha, Master Gotama! I am Mānatthaddha, Master Gotama!"
Then that assembly was filled with amazement: "It is wonderful indeed, sirs! It is marvelous indeed, sirs! For this brahmin Mānatthaddha does not pay homage to his mother, does not pay homage to his father, does not pay homage to his teacher, does not pay homage to his eldest brother; and yet the ascetic Gotama brings about such supreme veneration as this!"
Then the Blessed One said this to the brahmin Mānatthaddha: "Enough, brahmin! Rise, and sit on your own seat, since your mind has confidence in me."
