405	I shall praise going forth, as the one with vision went forth, as he, examining, found pleasure in going forth.
406	Seeing that this dwelling in a house is a constriction, the sphere of pollution, and that going forth is an open-air life, he went forth.
407	Having gone forth, he avoided evil deeds with the body; having abandoned bad practice in word, he purified his mode of living.
408	The Buddha went to Rajagaha, he betook himself to Giribbaja of the Magadhans for alms, being endowed with the excellent marks.
409	Standing in his palace Bimbisara saw him; seeing him endowed with the marks he said this:
410	"Look at this one, sirs; he is handsome, large, pure, and endowed with good demeanour, and he looks ahead a yoke's length only.
411	With down-turned eyes, possessing minfulness, this one is not as though from a lowly family. Let the royal messengers run out to find where the bhikkhu will go."
412	Those royal messengers, sent out, followed behind him wondering: "Where will he go? Where will his dwelling be?"
413	Going on an uninterrupted begging round, with sense-doors guarded, well-restrained, he quickly filled his bowl, being attentive and mindful.
414	That sage, having wandered on his alms-round, having gone out of the city, betook himself to Pandava, thinking: "Here my dwelling will be."
415	Having seen him go to his dwelling, the messengers then sat down, but one messenger came back and informed the king.
416	"That bhikkhu, great king, is seated on the Eastern side of Pandava, like a tiger or bull, like a lion in a mountain cave."
417	Hearing the messenger's report, the khattiya king went hurrying in the state vehicle out to Mt Pandava.
418	That khattiya king going by vehicle as far as the ground was suitable for vehicles, then descended from the vehicle and went up to him on foot. Reaching him, he sat down.
419	Having sat down, the king tehn exchanged the customary friendly greetings; having exchanged greetings, he said this:
420	"You are young and tender, in your first youth, a stripling, endowed with good complexion and stature, like a khattiya of good birth,
421	making beautiful the van of the army, at the head of a group of elephants. I shall give you objects of enjoyment; enjoy them. But tell me your birth, when asked."
422	"Straight on in that direction there is a people, king, living on the flank of Himavat, endowed with wealth and energy, belonging to one who is indigenous among the Kosalans.
423	They are Adicca by clan, Sakiya by birth. From that family I went forth, king, not desiring sensual pleasures.
424	Having seen danger in sensual pleasures, having seen going forth as safety, I shall go in order to strive. In that my mind delights."
