mn91:26.2 So he went to the Maghadeva Mango Grove together with several disciples.
mn91:26.3 Not far from the grove he thought,
mn91:26.4 “It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to go to see the ascetic Gotama without letting him know beforehand.”
mn91:26.5 So he addressed one of his young students:
mn91:26.6 “Here, young student, go to the ascetic Gotama and in my name bow with your head to his feet. Ask him if he is healthy and well, nimble, strong, and living comfortably.
mn91:26.8 And then say:
mn91:26.9 ‘Worthy Gotama, the brahmin Brahmāyu is old, elderly, and senior, advanced in years, having reached the final stage of life; he is a hundred and twenty years old. He has mastered the three Vedas, together with their vocabularies and ritual performance, their phonology and word classification, and the testaments as fifth. He knows them word-by-word, and their grammar. He is well versed in cosmology and the marks of a great man.
mn91:26.10 Of all the brahmins and householders residing in Mithilā, Brahmāyu is said to be the foremost in
mn91:26.11 wealth,
mn91:26.13 hymns,
mn91:26.15 lifespan, and fame.
mn91:26.16 He wants to see the worthy Gotama.’”
mn91:26.17 “Yes, worthy sir,” that young student replied. He did as he was asked, and the Buddha said,
mn91:26.29 “Please, student, let Brahmāyu come at his convenience.”
