Atha kho mānatthaddho brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā tuṇhībhūto ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi.

Then the brahmin Stuck-Up went up to the Buddha, and stood silently to one side.
14

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā तंtaṃ नालपि।nā·la·pi

Atha kho bhagavā taṁ nālapi.

“nāyaṁ samaṇo gotamo kiñci jānātī”ti tatova puna nivattitukāmo ahosi.

“This ascetic Gotama knows nothing!” And he wanted to go back from there right away.
17

Atha kho bhagavā mānatthaddhassa brāhmaṇassa cetasā cetoparivitakkamaññāya mānatthaddhaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

Then the Buddha, knowing Stuck-Up’s train of thought, addressed him in verse:
18

“नna मानंmā·naṃ ब्राह्मणbrāh·ma·ṇa साधु,sā·dhu

Then Stuck-Up thought,

“The ascetic Gotama knows my mind!” He bowed with his head to the Buddha’s feet, caressing them and covering them with kisses, and pronounced his name:
24

“मानत्थद्धाहं,mā·nat·thad·dhā·haṃ भोbho गोतम,go·ta·ma मानत्थद्धाहं,mā·nat·thad·dhā·haṃ भोbho गोतमा”ति।go·ta·mā

“mānatthaddhāhaṁ, bho gotama, mānatthaddhāhaṁ, bho gotamā”ti.

“Worthy Gotama, I am Stuck-Up! I am Stuck-Up!”

“acchariyaṁ vata bho, abbhutaṁ vata bho.

“Oh lord, how incredible, how amazing!

Ayañhi mānatthaddho brāhmaṇo neva mātaraṁ abhivādeti, na pitaraṁ abhivādeti, na ācariyaṁ abhivādeti, na jeṭṭhabhātaraṁ abhivādeti;

This brahmin Stuck-Up doesn’t bow to his mother or father, his tutor, or his oldest brother.
28

Atha kho bhagavā mānatthaddhaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ etadavoca:

Then the Buddha said to the brahmin Stuck-Up,
30

“अलं,a·laṃ ब्राह्मण,brāh·ma·ṇa उट्ठेहि,uṭ·ṭhe·hi सकेsa·ke आसनेā·sa·ne निसीद।ni·sī·da

“alaṁ, brāhmaṇa, uṭṭhehi, sake āsane nisīda.

“Enough, brahmin. Get up, and take your own seat.
31

Atha kho mānatthaddho brāhmaṇo sake āsane nisīditvā bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

Then Stuck-Up took his seat and said to the Buddha:
33

“केसुke·su नna मानंmā·naṃ कयिराथ,ka·yi·rā·tha

“Kesu na mānaṁ kayirātha,

“Regarding whom should you not be conceited?

Evaṁ vutte, mānatthaddho brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

When he had spoken, the brahmin Stuck-Up said to the Buddha,
49

“अभिक्कन्तं,a·bhik·kan·taṃ भोbho गोतमgo·ta·ma …पे…pe

“abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama …pe…

“Excellent, worthy Gotama …
