एकं समयं भगवा राजगहे विहरति इसिगिलिपस्से काळसिलायं महता भिक्खुसङ्घेन सद्धिं पञ्चमत्तेहि भिक्खुसतेहि सब्बेहेव अरहन्तेहि। तेसं सुदं आयस्मा महामोग्गल्लानो चेतसा चित्तं समन्नेसति विप्पमुत्तं निरुपधिं।
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati isigilipasse kāḷasilāyaṁ mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi sabbeheva arahantehi. Tesaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā mahāmoggallāno cetasā cittaṁ samannesati vippamuttaṁ nirupadhiṁ.
At one time the Buddha was staying on the slopes of Isigili at the Black Rock, together with a large Saṅgha of five hundred bhikkhus, all of whom were perfected ones. Thereupon, with his mind, Venerable Mahāmoggallāna checked to see whose mind was liberated and free of attachments.
अथ खो आयस्मतो वङ्गीसस्स एतदहोसि: “अयं खो भगवा राजगहे विहरति इसिगिलिपस्से काळसिलायं महता भिक्खुसङ्घेन सद्धिं पञ्चमत्तेहि भिक्खुसतेहि सब्बेहेव अरहन्तेहि। तेसं सुदं आयस्मा महामोग्गल्लानो चेतसा चित्तं समन्नेसति विप्पमुत्तं निरुपधिं। यन्नूनाहं आयस्मन्तं महामोग्गल्लानं भगवतो सम्मुखा सारुप्पाहि गाथाहि अभित्थवेय्यन्”ति।
Atha kho āyasmato vaṅgīsassa etadahosi: “ayaṁ kho bhagavā rājagahe viharati isigilipasse kāḷasilāyaṁ mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi sabbeheva arahantehi. Tesaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā mahāmoggallāno cetasā cittaṁ samannesati vippamuttaṁ nirupadhiṁ. Yannūnāhaṁ āyasmantaṁ mahāmoggallānaṁ bhagavato sammukhā sāruppāhi gāthāhi abhitthaveyyan”ti.
Then Venerable Vaṅgīsa thought, “The Buddha is staying on the slopes of Isigili … with five hundred perfected ones. Mahāmoggallāna is checking to see whose mind is liberated and free of attachments. Why don’t I extoll him in the Buddha’s presence with fitting verses?”
अथ खो आयस्मा वङ्गीसो उट्ठायासना एकंसं उत्तरासङ्गं करित्वा येन भगवा तेनञ्जलिं पणामेत्वा भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “पटिभाति मं, भगवा, पटिभाति मं, सुगता”ति।
Atha kho āyasmā vaṅgīso uṭṭhāyāsanā ekaṁsaṁ uttarāsaṅgaṁ karitvā yena bhagavā tenañjaliṁ paṇāmetvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “paṭibhāti maṁ, bhagavā, paṭibhāti maṁ, sugatā”ti.
Then Venerable Vaṅgīsa got up from his seat, arranged his robe over one shoulder, raised his joined palms toward the Buddha, and said, “I feel inspired to speak, Blessed One! I feel inspired to speak, Holy One!”
“पटिभातु तं, वङ्गीसा”ति भगवा अवोच।
“Paṭibhātu taṁ, vaṅgīsā”ti bhagavā avoca.
“Then speak as you feel inspired,” said the Buddha.
अथ खो आयस्मा वङ्गीसो आयस्मन्तं महामोग्गल्लानं भगवतो सम्मुखा सारुप्पाहि गाथाहि अभित्थवि:
Atha kho āyasmā vaṅgīso āyasmantaṁ mahāmoggallānaṁ bhagavato sammukhā sāruppāhi gāthāhi abhitthavi:
Then Vaṅgīsa extolled Mahāmoggallāna in his presence with fitting verses:
“नगस्स पस्से आसीनं, मुनिं दुक्खस्स पारगुं; सावका पयिरुपासन्ति, तेविज्जा मच्चुहायिनो।
“Nagassa passe āsīnaṁ, muniṁ dukkhassa pāraguṁ; Sāvakā payirupāsanti, tevijjā maccuhāyino.
“As the sage, who has gone beyond suffering, sits upon the mountain slope, he is revered by disciples with the three knowledges, conquerors of death.
ते चेतसा अनुपरियेति, मोग्गल्लानो महिद्धिको; चित्तं नेसं समन्नेसं, विप्पमुत्तं निरूपधिं।
Te cetasā1 anupariyeti, Moggallāno mahiddhiko; Cittaṁ nesaṁ samannesaṁ, Vippamuttaṁ nirūpadhiṁ.
Moggallāna, of great psychic power, comprehends with his mind, scrutinizing their minds, liberated, free of attachments.
एवं सब्बङ्गसम्पन्नं, मुनिं दुक्खस्स पारगुं; अनेकाकारसम्पन्नं, पयिरुपासन्ति गोतमन्”ति।
Evaṁ sabbaṅgasampannaṁ, Muniṁ dukkhassa pāraguṁ; Anekākārasampannaṁ, Payirupāsanti gotaman”ti.
So they revere Gotama, the sage gone beyond suffering, who is endowed with all path factors, and with a multitude of attributes.”
