At one time the Buddha was staying near R\u0101jagaha, on the bank of the Serpentine River. Then, late at night, the glorious divinity Sana\u1e45kum\u0101ra, lighting up the entire Serpentine riverbank, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and spoke this verse in the Buddha\u2019s presence: \u201cThe aristocrat is best among people who take clan as the standard. But one accomplished in knowledge and conduct is best among gods and humans.\u201d That is what the divinity Sana\u1e45kum\u0101ra said, and the Teacher concurred. Then the divinity Sana\u1e45kum\u0101ra, knowing that the Teacher concurred, bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before vanishing right there.","title":"With Sana\u1e45kum\u0101ra","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":112}
