तथैव च राजगृहे पुरोत्तमे परोपहारं भगवां प्रवृत्तवां ।
समुत्कर्षेसि स्वविधानकोविदो उपालिनो तं वचनोपहारं ॥ १ ॥
tathaiva ca rājagṛhe purottame paropahāraṃ bhagavāṃ pravṛttavāṃ |
samutkarṣesi svavidhānakovido upālino taṃ vacanopahāraṃ || 1 ||
Thus, too, in the chief city of Rajagriha, the Exalted One produced an apparition, and then he who is skilful in his expedients, explained to Upali the words spoken by the apparition. (1)
