BAGIAN 4
mn76:4.2 talk about kings, bandits, and chief ministers; talk about armies, threats, and wars; talk about food, drink, clothes, and beds; talk about garlands and fragrances; talk about family, vehicles, villages, towns, cities, and countries; talk about women and heroes; talk at the street market and the place for water pots; talk about the departed; motley talk; tales of land and sea; and talk about being reborn in this or that place.
mn76:4.3 Sandaka saw Ānanda coming off in the distance,
mn76:4.4 and hushed his own assembly,
mn76:4.5 “Be quiet, good fellows, don’t make a sound.
mn76:4.6 The ascetic Ānanda, a disciple of the ascetic Gotama, is coming.
mn76:4.7 He is included among the disciples of the ascetic Gotama, who is residing near Kosambī.
mn76:4.8 Such venerables like the quiet, are educated to be quiet, and praise the quiet.
mn76:4.9 Hopefully if he sees that our assembly is quiet he’ll see fit to approach.”
mn76:4.10 Then those wanderers fell silent.
