BAGIAN 46
mn85:46.1 Then it occurred to me,
mn85:46.2 ‘Who should I teach first of all?
mn85:46.3 Who will quickly understand the teaching?’
mn85:46.4 Then it occurred to me,
mn85:46.5 ‘That Āḷāra Kālāma is astute, competent, intelligent, and has long had little dust in his eyes.
mn85:46.6 Why don’t I teach him first of all?
mn85:46.7 He’ll quickly understand the teaching.’
mn85:46.8 But a deity came to me and said,
mn85:46.9 ‘Sir, Āḷāra Kālāma passed away seven days ago.’
mn85:46.10 And knowledge and vision arose in me,
mn85:46.11 ‘Āḷāra Kālāma passed away seven days ago.’
mn85:46.12 Then it occurred to me,
mn85:46.13 ‘This is a great loss for Āḷāra Kālāma.
mn85:46.14 If he had heard the teaching, he would have understood it quickly.’
