[307] When this was said, the brahmin Aggikabhāradvāja said this to the Blessed One: "Excellent, Master Gotama! Excellent, Master Gotama! Just as one might set upright what has been overturned, or uncover what has been concealed, or point out the path to one who has gone astray, or hold up an oil lamp in the darkness, thinking, 'Those who have eyes will see forms' — even so has the Dhamma been made clear in many a way by Master Gotama. I go to Master Gotama for refuge (saraṇa), and to the Dhamma, and to the Saṅgha of bhikkhus. May Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower (upāsaka) who from this day forth has gone for refuge for as long as life lasts." End of the Vasala Sutta, the seventh. ____________ In the Suttanipāta, the eighth discourse of the Uraga Vagga: the Metta Sutta.
