mn91:24.1 And then the Buddha, traveling stage by stage in the Videhan lands, arrived at Mithilā,
mn91:24.2 where he stayed in the Maghadeva Mango Grove.
mn91:24.3 The brahmins and householders of Mithilā heard:
mn91:24.4 “It seems the ascetic Gotama—a Sakyan, gone forth from a Sakyan family—has arrived at Mithilā, where he is staying in the Maghadeva Mango Grove.
mn91:24.5 He has this good reputation:
mn91:24.6 ‘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.’
mn91:24.7 He has realized with his own insight this world—with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, gods and humans—and he makes it known to others.
mn91:24.8 He teaches Dhamma that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased. And he reveals a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure.
mn91:24.9 It’s good to see such perfected ones.”
