Thus have I heard:
One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.
Then Bhagavaan addressed the bhikshus: “When there arises in the world one who is matchless, incomparable, peerless, unequaled by any deva or human in Shraddha (faith), Shila, Shruta (learning), Dana (generosity) or Prajna (wisdom) – who is this one?
It is the Tathaagata, the Arhat, the Samyak-Sambudha. He is the one who appears in the world without equal, incomparable, peerless, unequaled by any deva or human, perfect in Shraddha (faith), Shila, Shruta (learning), Dana (generosity) or Prajna (wisdom). Therefore, bhikshus, have faith in and revere the Bhagavaan. Thus, bhikshus, should you train yourselves.”
When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
