[4] Then the Blessed One, at the end of seven days, having emerged from that concentration (samādhi), went from the foot of the Bodhi tree to where the Ajapāla banyan tree stood; and having approached, he sat at the foot of the Ajapāla banyan tree for seven days in a single cross-legged session, experiencing the bliss of liberation (vimuttisukha).
Then a certain brahmin of the hahahuka sort [i.e., one given to grunting "huhuṃ" out of conceit and anger] approached the Blessed One; and having approached, he exchanged greetings with the Blessed One, and when the courteous and memorable talk of greeting was concluded, he stood to one side. Standing to one side, that brahmin said this to the Blessed One: "To what extent, good Gotama, is one a brahmin? And which, moreover, are the qualities that make one a brahmin?" Then the Blessed One, understanding the meaning of this, on that occasion uttered this inspired utterance (udāna):
That brahmin who has banished evil dhammas,
not given to grunting "huhuṃ," free from stain, self-restrained,
gone to the end of knowledge (vedantagū), having lived the holy life to completion—
he might rightly, in accordance with the Dhamma, speak the word "brahmin,"
he for whom there are no swellings (of arrogance) anywhere in the world.
The Account of the Ajapāla Banyan is concluded.
