Evaṁ me sutaṁ—
evaṁ me → evamme (th) | evaṁ → evam (pts)So I have heard. ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati gijjhakūṭe pabbate.At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain.

Tena kho pana samayena nigrodho paribbājako udumbarikāya paribbājakārāme paṭivasati mahatiyā paribbājakaparisāya saddhiṁ tiṁsamattehi paribbājakasatehi.
Nigrodho → Cp. D. viii. 23 (vol. i., p. 176) (pts note) | paribbājakaparisāya → paribbājaka-parisāya (pts) | tiṁsamattehi paribbājakasatehi → tiṁsa-mattehi paribbājaka-satehi (pts)Now at that time the wanderer Nigrodha was residing in the lady Udumbarikā’s monastery for wanderers, together with a large assembly of three thousand wanderers. Atha kho sandhāno gahapati divā divassa rājagahā nikkhami bhagavantaṁ dassanāya.

(pts note) | atha kho → athakho (th) | divā divassa → divādivass eva (pts)Then the householder Sandhāna left Rājagaha in the middle of the day to see the Buddha.

Atha kho sandhānassa gahapatissa etadahosi:
atha kho → athakho (th) | etadahosi → etad ahosi (pts)Then it occurred to him, “akālo kho bhagavantaṁ dassanāya.

Addasā kho nigrodho paribbājako sandhānaṁ gahapatiṁ dūratova āgacchantaṁ.

Ayaṁ samaṇassa gotamassa sāvako āgacchati sandhāno gahapati.The householder Sandhāna, a disciple of the ascetic Gotama, is coming. Yāvatā kho pana samaṇassa gotamassa sāvakā gihī odātavasanā rājagahe paṭivasanti, ayaṁ tesaṁ aññataro sandhāno gahapati.

Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho sandhāno gahapati nigrodhaṁ paribbājakaṁ etadavoca:

Evaṁ vutte, nigrodho paribbājako sandhānaṁ gahapatiṁ etadavoca:

Suññāgāra-hatā → So Bmr K Sum; SS suññāgāraṁ gatā. (pts note)Staying in empty huts has destroyed the ascetic Gotama’s wisdom. Not frequenting assemblies, he is unable to hold a discussion. So antamantāneva sevati.
