Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He said: ‘ You know well that I have plenty of gold, plenty of cows, horses, slaves, attendants, and apparel; do not heap on me what I have already in plenty, in abundance, and superabundance.’ The king said: ‘ Gautama, do you wish (for instruction from me) in the proper way? ’ Gautama replied: £ I come to you as a pupil.’ In word only have former sages (though Brahmans) come as pupils (to people of lower rank), but Gautama actually dwelt as a pupil (of Pravaha^a, who was a RA/anya) in order to obtain the fame of having respectfully served his master.
