snp3.4:39.1 Then the brahmin Bhāradvāja of Sundarikā said to the Buddha,
snp3.4:39.2 “Excellent, worthy Gotama! Excellent!
snp3.4:39.3 As if he were righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with clear eyes can see what’s there, worthy Gotama has made the teaching clear in many ways.
snp3.4:39.4 I go for refuge to the worthy Gotama, to the teaching, and to the mendicant Saṅgha.
snp3.4:39.5 May I receive the going forth, the ordination in the worthy Gotama’s presence?”
snp3.4:39.6 And the brahmin Bhāradvāja of Sundarikā received the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence.
snp3.4:39.7 And soon after, he became one of the perfected.
