   At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kosalans together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants when he arrived at a village of the Kosalan brahmins named Opāsāda.

   Now at that time the brahmin Caṅkī was living in Opāsāda. It was a crown property given by King Pasenadi of Kosala, teeming with living creatures, full of hay, wood, water, and grain, a royal park endowed to a brahmin.

   “It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—has arrived at Opāsāda together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants. He is staying in the Godswood to the north.

   He has this good reputation:

10. 10

    ‘इतिपिi·ti·pi सोso भगवाbha·ga·vā अरहंa·ra·haṃ सम्मासम्बुद्धोsam·mā·sam·bud·dho विज्जाचरणसम्पन्नोvij·jā·ca·ra·ṇa·sam·pan·no सुगतोsu·ga·to लोकविदूlo·ka·vi·dū अनुत्तरोa·nut·ta·ro पुरिसदम्मसारथिpu·ri·sa·dam·ma·sā·ra·thi सत्थाsat·thā देवमनुस्सानंde·va·ma·nus·sā·naṃ बुद्धोbud·dho भगवा’ति।bha·ga·vā

    ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavā’ti.

    ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’

11. 11

    सोso इमंi·maṃ लोकंlo·kaṃ सदेवकंsa·de·va·kaṃ समारकंsa·mā·ra·kaṃ सब्रह्मकंsab·rah·ma·kaṃ सस्समणब्राह्मणिंsas·sa·ma·ṇab·rāh·ma·ṇiṃ पजंpa·jaṃ सदेवमनुस्संsa·de·va·ma·nus·saṃ सयंsa·yaṃ अभिञ्ञाa·bhiñ·ñā सच्छिकत्वाsac·chi·kat·vā पवेदेति।pa·ve·de·ti

    So imaṁ lokaṁ sadevakaṁ samārakaṁ sabrahmakaṁ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṁ pajaṁ sadevamanussaṁ sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti.

    He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others.

12. 12

    So dhammaṁ deseti ādikalyāṇaṁ majjhekalyāṇaṁ pariyosānakalyāṇaṁ sātthaṁ sabyañjanaṁ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ pakāseti.

    He teaches Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure.

13. 13

    Then, exiting Opāsāda, they formed into companies and headed north to the Godswood.

    Tena kho pana samayena caṅkī brāhmaṇo uparipāsāde divāseyyaṁ upagato.

    Now at that time the brahmin Caṅkī had retired to the upper floor of his stilt longhouse for his midday nap.

    He saw the brahmins and householders heading for the Godswood,

    Then Caṅkī together with a large group of brahmins went to the Buddha and exchanged greetings with him.

91. 91

    Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.

    When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side.

    Now at that time the Buddha was sitting engaged in some polite conversation together with some very senior brahmins.

    And the student Kāpaṭika was sitting in that assembly. He was young, tonsured, and sixteen years old. He had mastered the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies and ritual performance, their phonology and word classification, and the testaments as fifth. He knew them word-by-word, and their grammar. He was well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man.

    So vuddhānaṁ vuddhānaṁ brāhmaṇānaṁ bhagavatā saddhiṁ mantayamānānaṁ antarantarā kathaṁ opāteti.

    While the senior brahmins were conversing together with the Buddha, he interrupted.

    Then the Buddha rebuked Kāpaṭika,

    “मायस्माmā·yas·mā भारद्वाजोbhā·rad·vā·jo वुद्धानंvud·dhā·naṃ वुद्धानंvud·dhā·naṃ ब्राह्मणानंbrāh·ma·ṇā·naṃ मन्तयमानानंman·ta·ya·mā·nā·naṃ अन्तरन्तराan·ta·ran·ta·rā कथंka·thaṃ ओपातेतु।o·pā·te·tu

    “Venerable Bhāradvāja, don’t interrupt the senior brahmins.

    When he had spoken, Caṅkī said to the Buddha,

    “Worthy Gotama, don’t rebuke the student Kāpaṭika.

     अथa·tha खोkho भगवतोbha·ga·va·to एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

     Then it occurred to the Buddha,

     Then the Buddha, knowing Kāpaṭika’s train of thought, looked at him.

     Then Kāpaṭika thought,

They were the authors and propagators of the hymns. Their hymnal was sung and propagated and compiled in ancient times; and these days, brahmins continue to sing and chant it, chanting what was chanted and teaching what was taught.
