[113] Then Suppabuddha the leper — having seen the Dhamma, attained the Dhamma, understood the Dhamma, and fathomed the Dhamma; having crossed over doubt (vicikicchā), rid of perplexity; having attained self-confidence (vesārajja), independent of others in the Teacher's Dispensation — rose from his seat and approached the Blessed One. Having approached, he paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. Sitting to one side, Suppabuddha the leper said this to the Blessed One: "Magnificent, venerable sir! Magnificent, venerable sir! Just as, venerable sir, one might set upright what has been overturned, or uncover what has been concealed, or point out the way to one who has gone astray, or hold up an oil lamp in the darkness so that those with eyes might see forms — even so has the Dhamma been made clear in many ways by the Blessed One. Venerable sir, I go for refuge to the Blessed One, and to the Dhamma, and to the Saṅgha of bhikkhus. Let the Blessed One remember me as a lay follower (upāsaka) who from this day forth has gone for refuge for as long as life lasts."
Then Suppabuddha the leper — instructed, exhorted, inspired, and gladdened by the Blessed One with a talk on the Dhamma — having delighted in and rejoiced at what the Blessed One had said, rose from his seat, paid homage to the Blessed One, circumambulated him keeping his right side towards him, and departed. Then, not long after he had departed, a cow with a young calf knocked Suppabuddha the leper down and deprived him of life. Then a number of bhikkhus approached the Blessed One. Having approached, they paid homage to the Blessed One and sat down to one side. Sitting to one side, those bhikkhus said this to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, the leper named Suppabuddha, whom the Blessed One instructed, exhorted, inspired, and gladdened with a talk on the Dhamma, has died. What is his destination? What is his future state?" "Bhikkhus, Suppabuddha the leper was a wise man. He practiced in accordance with the Dhamma and did not trouble me on account of the Dhamma. Bhikkhus, with the utter destruction of the three fetters, Suppabuddha the leper is a stream-enterer (sotāpanna), no longer subject to rebirth in the lower realms, fixed in destiny, with awakening as his destination."
