tāv aham evaṃ vadāmi:
mā bhikṣū atra gṛhapatisaṃjñām utpādayatām | tat kasmād dhetoḥ |
tathāgataṃ sthāpayitvā nāsti kaścic chrāvako vā bodhisatvo vā, ya etasya pratibhānam ācchindyāt | tādṛśa etasya prajñālokaḥ |
我答言
自捨如來 未有弟子及菩薩辯才析疑如此聰明者也
我即答言
自捨如來未有聲聞及菩薩能制其樂說之辯 其智慧明達為若此也
我即告言
汝勿於彼起居士想 所以者何
唯除如來 未有聲聞及餘菩薩而能制此大士慧辯 其慧辯明殊勝如是

I then said to the two monks,
Do not entertain the notion that he is a mere householder! Why?
With the exception of the Tathāgata himself, there is no disciple or bodhisattva capable of competing with his eloquence or rivaling the brilliance of his wisdom.
