dn2:8.0 2. A Discussion With Jīvaka Komārabhacca
dn2:8.1 Now at that time Jīvaka Komārabhacca was sitting silently not far from the king.
dn2:8.2 Then the king said to him,
dn2:8.3 “But my dear Jīvaka, why are you silent?”
dn2:8.4 “Your Majesty, this Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha is staying in my mango grove together with a large Saṅgha of 1,250 mendicants.
dn2:8.5 He has this good reputation:
dn2:8.6 ‘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.’
dn2:8.7 Let Your Majesty pay homage to him.
dn2:8.8 Hopefully in so doing your mind will find peace.”
dn2:8.9 “Well then, my dear Jīvaka, have the elephants readied.”
