   At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

   Now at that time Venerable Visākha, Pañcāli’s son, was educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the mendicants in the assembly hall with a Dhamma talk. His words were polished, clear, articulate, expressing the meaning, comprehensive, and independent.

   Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena upaṭṭhānasālā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.

   Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to the assembly hall. He sat down on the seat spread out,

   “Mendicants, who was educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the mendicants in the assembly hall with a Dhamma talk?”

   “Sir, it was Venerable Visākha, Pañcāli’s son.”

    Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ visākhaṁ pañcālaputtaṁ etadavoca:

    Then the Buddha said to Visākha,

    “साधुsā·dhu साधु,sā·dhu विसाख।vi·sā·kha

    “sādhu sādhu, visākha.

    It’s good that you educate, encourage, fire up, and inspire the mendicants in the assembly hall with a Dhamma talk, with words that are polished, clear, articulate, expressing the meaning, comprehensive, and independent.
