[701] The Blessed One saw the Venerable Sujāta coming in the distance. Having seen him, he addressed the bhikkhus: "Bhikkhus, this clansman (kulaputta) shines in both ways: he is handsome, good to look upon, pleasing, endowed with supreme beauty of complexion; and he is one who, having realized it for himself in this very life with direct knowledge (abhiññā), enters upon and dwells in that unsurpassed consummation of the holy life (brahmacariya) for the sake of which clansmen rightly go forth from the household life into homelessness."
