BAGIAN 47
mn85:47.1 Then it occurred to me,
mn85:47.2 ‘Who should I teach first of all?
mn85:47.3 Who will quickly understand the teaching?’
mn85:47.4 Then it occurred to me,
mn85:47.5 ‘That Uddaka son of Rāma is astute, competent, intelligent, and has long had little dust in his eyes.
mn85:47.6 Why don’t I teach him first of all?
mn85:47.7 He’ll quickly understand the teaching.’
mn85:47.8 But a deity came to me and said,
mn85:47.9 ‘Sir, Uddaka son of Rāma, passed away just last night.’
mn85:47.10 And knowledge and vision arose in me,
mn85:47.11 ‘Uddaka son of Rāma, passed away just last night.’
mn85:47.12 Then it occurred to me,
mn85:47.13 ‘This is a great loss for Uddaka.
mn85:47.14 If he had heard the teaching, he would have understood it quickly.’
