Arranging my robe over one shoulder and clasping my hands together, I walked alongside that stainless one, supreme among all beings. The wise one, expert in questions, questioned me. Brave and fearless, I answered the Teacher. When all his questions were answered, the Realized One congratulated me. Looking around the mendicant Sa\u1e45gha, he said the following: \u201cIt is a blessing for the people of A\u1e45ga and Magadha that this person enjoys their robe and almsfood, requisites and lodgings, their respect and service\u2014 it\u2019s a blessing for them,\u201d he declared. \u201cSop\u0101ka, from this day on you are invited to come and see me. And Sop\u0101ka, let this be your ordination.\u201d At seven years old I received ordination. I bear my final body\u2014 oh, the clear rightness of the teaching!","title":"Sop\u0101ka (2nd)","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":151}
