26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 354<br />

The one who has been cleansed<br />

King Pasenadi gave gifts beyond compare to a Saṅgha of five<br />

hundred monks with the Buddha at its head, and placed<br />

elephants holding parasols over all but one of them; there<br />

were only rogue elephants left, and the King had one of them<br />

hold his parasol over Ven. Aṅgulimāla, whose presence tamed<br />

him; the monks thought the elder must have been afraid when<br />

the elephant was brought, but the Buddha said he was not, and<br />

spoke this verse.<br />

422. Usabhaṁ pavaraṁ vīraṁ, mahesiṁ vijitāvinaṁ,<br />

anejaṁ nhātakaṁ buddhaṁ, tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ.<br />

A noble leader, heroic,<br />

a great seer, victorious,<br />

free of lust, cleansed and awakened,<br />

that one I say is a brahmin.
