When they had spoken, Caṅkī said to those brahmins: “Well then, gentlemen, listen to why it’s appropriate for me to go to see the ascetic Gotama, and it’s not appropriate for him to come to see me. He is well born on both his mother’s and father’s side, stemming from a clean vessel, with irrefutable and impeccable genealogy back to the seventh paternal generation. For this reason it’s not appropriate for the ascetic Gotama to come to see me; rather, it’s appropriate for me to go to see him. When he went forth he abandoned abundant gold, both coined and uncoined, stored above and below ground. …

He has divine looks and lustre, remarkable to behold. … He is ethical, possessing ethical conduct that is noble and skillful. … He’s a good speaker who enunciates well, with a polished, clear, and articulate voice that expresses the meaning. … He’s a tutor of tutors. … He has ended sensual desire, and is rid of caprice. … He teaches the efficacy of deeds and action.

The brahmin Pokkharasāti and his wives and children have gone for refuge for life to the ascetic Gotama. … The ascetic Gotama has arrived to stay in the Godswood to the north of Opāsāda. Any ascetic or brahmin who comes to stay in our village district is our guest, and should be honored and respected as such. For this reason, too, it’s not appropriate for the worthy Gotama to come to see me; rather, it’s appropriate for me to go to see him. This is the extent of the worthy Gotama’s praise that I have memorized. But his praises are not confined to this,
