That venerable houseless monk named Jambū who was possessed of faith ( here the rest to be supplied upto the incident, that ) he went near the place where the venerable houseless monk Suhammā was, and solemnly circumambulated him three times from the left to the right direction)? and saluted him and bowed down to him (here the rest to be supplied upto the incident, that he ) reverently waiting on him spoke to him thus :
2 “If Reverend Sir, the Samana, the blessed Mahāvira ( here all the epithets are to be inumerated down to ) who has obtained emancipation, has taught this as the purport of the tenth Anga, called the Panhāvāgarana, what then Reverened Sir, did the Samana ( as above, down to ) who has obtained emancipation, teach as the purport of the eleventh Anga which is called the Vivāgasuyam ?
Then the venerable houseless monk Suhammā spoke to the houseless monk named Jambû thus :
1 Text ayūhinam payā hinam, Sk. å-dakshiva-pradakshinam; the ceremonious circumambulation of a person for the purpose of showing him reverence, done both at meeting and parting. It consists in walking three times round him, so as to keep one's right side constantly turned towards him. To do this one must start from the right of the person reverenced and come round to his left. It is commonly said to consist in moving from the left to the right. In that case, the left means the left of the reverencing person, which, of course, corresponds to the right of the person reverenced.
