如是我闻。一时，世尊在马嘎达国游行，与大比库僧团——约五百位比库同行，到达一个名叫伽奴马达的婆罗门村。在那里，世尊住在伽奴马达的庵婆园。当时，估多旦多婆罗门居住在人众稠密、草木水源丰富、谷物充足的伽奴马达，这是马嘎达国的色尼亚·宾比萨拉王所赐的王领地、梵授地。当时，估多旦多婆罗门正准备举行大祭祀：七百头公牛、七百头小公牛、七百头母牛、七百头山羊、七百只公羊被系在祭祀柱上准备祭祀。

伽奴马达的婆罗门居士们听闻：「实在啊，诸贤，释迦族之子沙门果德玛从释迦族出家，在马嘎达国游行，与大比库僧团——约五百位比库同行，到达了伽奴马达，住在伽奴马达的庵婆园。关于那位尊者果德玛，如此美好的声誉传扬开来：『他确实是世尊、阿拉汉、正等觉者、明行具足、善逝、世间解、无上调御丈夫、天人师、佛陀、世尊。』他以自己的智证，宣说包括天、魔、梵的世界，包括沙门、婆罗门、天人的众生。他说法初善、中善、后善，有义有文，宣示圆满清净的梵行。善哉，得见如此阿拉汉！」
§325
Atha kho khāṇumatakā brāhmaṇagahapatikā khāṇumatā nikkhamitvā saṅghasaṅghī gaṇībhūtā yena ambalaṭṭhikā tenupasaṅkamanti.
于是伽奴马达的婆罗门居士们从伽奴马达出来，成群结队地前往庵婆园。
§326
Tena kho pana samayena kūṭadanto brāhmaṇo uparipāsāde divāseyyaṃ upagato hoti.

当时，估多旦多婆罗门正在高楼上午休。估多旦多婆罗门看见伽奴马达的婆罗门居士们从伽奴马达出来，成群结队地前往庵婆园。见后，他问侍者：「侍者，为什么伽奴马达的婆罗门居士们从伽奴马达出来，成群结队地前往庵婆园呢？」
§327
‘‘Atthi kho, bho, samaṇo gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito magadhesu cārikaṃ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṃ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi khāṇumataṃ anuppatto, khāṇumate viharati ambalaṭṭhikāyaṃ.

「尊者，有释迦族之子沙门果德玛从释迦族出家，在马嘎达国游行，与大比库僧团——约五百位比库同行，到达了伽奴马达，住在伽奴马达的庵婆园。关于那位尊者果德玛，如此美好的声誉传扬开来：『他确实是世尊、阿拉汉、正等觉者、明行具足、善逝、世间解、无上调御丈夫、天人师、佛陀、世尊。』他以自己的智证，宣说包括天、魔、梵的世界，包括沙门、婆罗门、天人的众生。他说法初善、中善、后善，有义有文，宣示圆满清净的梵行。善哉，得见如此阿拉汉！他们就是为了见他而去。」
§328
Atha kho kūṭadantassa brāhmaṇassa etadahosi – ‘‘sutaṃ kho pana metaṃ – ‘samaṇo gotamo tividhaṃ yaññasampadaṃ soḷasaparikkhāraṃ jānātī’ti.

于是估多旦多婆罗门心想：「我曾听闻：『沙门果德玛了知三种祭祀成就和十六项祭祀资具。』而我现在正准备举行大祭祀，但不了知三种祭祀成就和十六项祭祀资具。不如我前去拜见沙门果德玛，请教三种祭祀成就和十六项祭祀资具。」
§329

于是估多旦多婆罗门呼唤侍者：「那么，侍者，你去告诉伽奴马达的婆罗门居士们：『估多旦多婆罗门说：「请诸位稍等。估多旦多婆罗门也要去拜见沙门果德玛。」』」

当时，有数百位婆罗门住在伽奴马达——「为了参与估多旦多婆罗门的大祭祀。」那些婆罗门听闻：「估多旦多婆罗门竟要去拜见沙门果德玛。」
§331
Upasaṅkamitvā kūṭadantaṃ brāhmaṇaṃ etadavocuṃ – ‘‘saccaṃ kira bhavaṃ kūṭadanto samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamissatī’’ti? ‘‘Evaṃ kho me, bho, hoti – ‘ahampi samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamissāmī’’’ti.
他们前往估多旦多婆罗门处，对估多旦多婆罗门说：「据说尊者估多旦多竟要去拜见沙门果德玛？」「是的，诸贤，我确实打算去拜见沙门果德玛。」
‘‘Mā bhavaṃ kūṭadanto samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkami. Na arahati bhavaṃ kūṭadanto samaṇaṃ gotamaṃ dassanāya upasaṅkamituṃ.

「尊者估多旦多不要去拜见沙门果德玛。尊者估多旦多不适合去拜见沙门果德玛。如果尊者估多旦多去拜见沙门果德玛，尊者估多旦多的名声就会损减，沙门果德玛的名声就会增长。以此理由，尊者估多旦多不适合去拜见沙门果德玛；沙门果德玛才应该来拜见尊者估多旦多。

「尊者估多旦多是父母双方善生、血统纯正、七代以来出身无瑕、无可指责的。以此理由，尊者估多旦多不适合去拜见沙门果德玛；沙门果德玛才应该来拜见尊者估多旦多。

「那么，诸贤，你们也听听我说，为什么我们才应该去拜见那位尊者果德玛，而不是那位尊者果德玛应该来拜见我们。诸贤，沙门果德玛确实是父母双方善生、血统纯正、七代以来出身无瑕、无可指责的。以此理由，那位尊者果德玛不适合来拜见我们；我们才应该去拜见那位尊者果德玛。

「在那些祭祀中也没有牛被杀，没有山羊和绵羊被杀，没有鸡和猪被杀，没有各种动物被杀害。没有树木被砍伐作为祭祀柱，没有吉祥草被割来铺设。那些仆人、信使、雇工也不是被棍棒威胁、被恐惧驱使、流着泪水而工作的。愿意做的就做，不愿意做的就不做。只用酥、油、生酥、蜜、糖蜜来完成那些祭祀。

「如是，四种随喜，大胜王具足八种条件，辅师婆罗门具足四种条件；三种祭祀成就，十六项祭祀资具——婆罗门，此即三种祭祀成就和十六项祭祀资具。」

「婆罗门，阿拉汉或已证入阿拉汉道者不会前来参加那样的（杀生）祭祀。这是什么原因呢？因为在那里可以看到棍棒和绳索的使用。但是阿拉汉或已证入阿拉汉道者会前来参加那常施随顺祭祀。这是什么原因呢？因为在那里看不到棍棒和绳索的使用。婆罗门，因此，那常施随顺祭祀比三种祭祀成就和十六项祭祀资具更少花费、更少劳烦，而果报和功德更大。」

于是世尊为估多旦多婆罗门次第说法，即布施论、持戒论、生天论；开示欲的过患、卑下、染污，以及出离的功德。当世尊了知估多旦多婆罗门的心已准备好、柔软、离障碍、欢喜、明净时，就为他开示诸佛特有的法义——苦、集、灭、道。犹如洁净无染的布匹能完美地吸收染料；同样地，估多旦多婆罗门就在那座位上，远尘离垢，生起法眼：『凡是集法，一切皆是灭法。』

估多旦多婆罗门亲手以精美的副食和主食供养以佛陀为首的比库僧团，使其满足、尽兴。估多旦多婆罗门在世尊食毕、放下钵后，取一低座坐在一旁。世尊以法语教导、劝勉、激励、鼓舞估多旦多婆罗门后，从座位起身离去。
