The Chonicle of the Island - 139 17. terasaṅkappaṁ aññāya Sakko devānam issaro pātur ahū therasammukhe santike ajjhabhāsatha: 351 | 17. Perceiving the thought of the Thera, Sakka the chief of gods appeared to the Thera, and thus addressed him face to face: 18. kālo te hi mahāvīra Laṅkādīpapasādanaṁ, khippaṁ gaccha varadīpaṁ anukampāya pāṇinaṁ. | 18. “The time has come to thee, great hero, to convert Laṅkādīpa; go quickly to the best of islands out of compassion for created beings. 19. Laṅkādīpavaraṁ gaccha dhammaṁ desehi pāṇinaṁ, pakāsaya catusaccaṁ satte mocehi bandhanā. | 19. Go to the most excellent Laṅkādīpa, preach the Dhamma to created beings; proclaim the four Truths, release men from the fetters (of sin); – 20. sāsanaṁ buddhajeṭṭhassa Laṅkādīpamhi jotaya. byākataṁ c’ āsi nāgassa bhikkhusaṅgho ca sammato, 352 | 20. make illustrious the doctrine of the supreme Buddha in Laṅkādīpa. Thy (advent) [169] has been foretold by the Chief (of the Faith); the fraternity of Bhikkhus has elected thee – 21. ahaṁ ca veyyāvatikaṁ Laṅkādīpassa cāgame karomi sabbakiccāni, samayo pakkamituṁ tayā. | 21. and I shall do service to thee at thy arrival in Laṅkādīpa and perform all that is necessary; it is time for thee to depart.” 22. Sakkassa vacanaṁ sutvā Mahindo dīpajotako bhagavatā subyākato bhikkhusaṅghena sammato | 22. Having heard the speech of Sakka, Mahinda, the enlightener of the island, reflected (thus): “Bhagavat has rightly prophesied about me, the fraternity of Bhikkhus has elected me, – 351 terasaṅkappaṁ N, tesaṁ saṅk° Y, therasaṅkappaṁ? 352 byākataṁ casi (cāsi N) nāgassa G1 N, byākato Sakyasīho ca (°sīho A) A B G2, byākate Sakyasīhassa Z. byākato c’ asi nāgassa?
The Chonicle of the Island - 140 23. Sakko ca maṁ samāyāci, patiṭṭhissāmi sāsanaṁ. gacchām’ ahaṁ Tambapaṇṇiṁ, nipuṇā Tambapaṇṇikā, 353 | 23. and Sakka has exhorted me; I shall establish the Faith; I will go to Tambapaṇṇi; subtle is the people of Tambapaṇṇi, – 24. sabbadukkhakkhayaṁ maggaṁ na suṇanti subhāsitaṁ. tesaṁ pakāsayissāmi, gamissaṁ dīpalañjakaṁ. | 24. (yet) they have not heard of the well proclaimed path which leads to the destruction of all suffering. I shall proclaim it to them; I shall go to the island of Laṅkā.” 25. kālaññū samayaññū ca Mahindo Asokatrajo gamanaṁ Laṅkātalaṁ ñatvā āmantayi sahaggaṇe Mahindo gaṇapāmokkho samānupajjhāyake catu, 354 | 25. Mahinda, the son of Asoka, who well knew the time and the season, having resolved to go to Laṅkā, told his companions (to come). Mahinda was the chief of that number; there were (then) his four fellow pupils, – 26. sāmaṇero ca Sumaṇo Bhaṇḍuko ca upāsako, channañ ca chaḷabhiññāṇaṁ pakāsesi mahiddhiko: | [64] 26. the novice Sumana, and the lay-disciple Bhaṇḍuka. To these six men who were endowed with the six (supernatural) faculties, (Mahinda) who possessed the great (magical) powers, thus made known (his intention): 27. āyāma bahulaṁ ajja Laṅkādīpaṁ varuttamaṁ, pasādema bahū satte, patiṭṭhāpessāma sāsanaṁ. 355 | 27. “Let us go now to the extensive, most excellent island of Laṅkā, let us convert many people and establish the Faith.” 353 patiṭṭhassāmi G1. patiṭṭhapessāmi? 354 “Laṅkātalaṁ” may be the correct reading; I should prefer, however, “kālākālaṁ” (the right and the wrong time). – sahaggaṇo N, sahagaṇo B G2, sahāgaṇe A Z, samāgaṇe G1. 355 lahuṁ A B G2, balaṁ Z, bahulaṁ G1 N.
