ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า

Dhammacakkapavattana Sutta the whole of the Earth quaked and the waves of the ocean were whipped by strong winds and even Mount Sumeru bowed down its peak as if in humility to the teaching, with a sound that could be heard all the way to the Brahma world and bright light was sent forth which exceeded even the brightness of the auras of the angels of the highest levels. The announcement of praise for the Sutta was so loud on the Catumahārājika (first) level of heaven that it was overheard on the Tavatimsa (second) level of heaven. The announcement of praise for the Sutta was so loud on the Tavatimsa level of heaven that it was overheard on the Yama (third) level of heaven . . . and so on, all the way from Tusita Heaven to Akin itiabhavagga Brahma: world. Every one of the Thirty-One Realms were shaken and light was perceived in every level of existence. The Lord Buddha exclaimed, "Aññāsi vatabho koṇḍañño, aññāsi vatabho koṇḍañño" (Kondañña you have known) From that time on "Koṇḍañña" became better known by the title of "Añña-Koṇḍañña" Thera (Koṇḍañña who knows). The exclamation of the Lord Buddha at that time testified to Kondañña's attainment of the Fruit of Sainthood at the level of Stream-Enterer. At the same time it testified to the potential benefit of the Buddha's Enlightenment for other beings in the world too. Apart from announcing the value of Buddha Dhamma to the world it won over the Pāñcavaggiya (Group of Five) Bhikkhus who had previously been skeptical, to want to join the Buddha's tradition, and practise strictly according the the Buddha's Teaching. 177
