[13] Then the Venerable Ānanda, having walked for alms in Sāvatthī, after his meal, on returning from the alms round, approached the Blessed One; having approached, he paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. Sitting to one side, the Venerable Ānanda said this to the Blessed One: "Here, venerable sir, in the morning, having dressed and taken my bowl and robe, I entered Sāvatthī for alms. Venerable sir, I saw the brahmin Jāṇussoṇi driving out of Sāvatthī in an all-white chariot drawn by mares. White indeed were the horses yoked to it, with white ornaments; white the chariot, white its fittings, white the reins, white the goad-stick, white the parasol, white the turban, white the garments, white the sandals; and he was being fanned with a white yak-tail whisk. Seeing him, the people said: 'Divine indeed, sirs, is the vehicle! The very form of a divine vehicle (brahmayāna), sirs!' Is it possible, venerable sir, to designate a divine vehicle in this Dhamma and Discipline (dhammavinaya)?"
