21. Sangarava
Setting at Savatthi. Now on that occasion a brahmin named Sangarava was residing at Savatthi. He was a practitioner of water-purification, one who believed in purification by water, who dwelt devoted to the practice of immersing himself in water at dusk and dawn.
Then, in the morning, the Venerable Onanda dressed and, taking bowl and robe, entered Savatthi for alms. Having walked for alms in Savatthi, when he had returned from his alms round, after his meal he approached the Blessed One, paid homage to him, sat down to one side, and said to him: “Here, venerable sir, a brahmin named Sangarava is residing at Savatthi. He is a practitioner of water-purification … devoted to the practice of immersing himself in water at dusk and dawn. It would be good, venerable sir, if the Blessed One would approach the brahmin Sangarava out of compassion.”
The Blessed One consented by silence.
Then, in the morning, the Blessed One dressed and, taking bowl and robe, approached the brahmin Sangarava’s residence, where he sat down in the appointed seat. Then the brahmin Sangarava approached the Blessed One and exchanged greetings with him, after which he sat down to one side. The Blessed One then said to him: “Is it true, brahmin, that you are a practitioner of water-purification, one who believes in purification by water, devoted to the practice of immersing yourself in water at dusk and dawn?”
“Yes, Master Gotama.”
“For what reason do you do this, brahmin?”
“Here, Master Gotama, whatever evil deed I have done during the day I wash away by bathing at dusk. Whatever evil deed I have done at night I wash away by bathing at dawn.”
“The Dhamma, brahmin, is a lake with fords of virtue—
A limpid lake the good praise to the good—
Where the knowledge-masters go to bathe,
And, dry-limbed, cross to the far shore.”
When this was said, the brahmin Sangarava said to the Blessed One: “Magnificent, Master Gotama! Magnificent, Master Gotama!… Let Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower who from today has gone for refuge for life.”

〔二一〕參伽羅婆
舍衛城因緣。
時，名喚參伽羅婆婆羅門住舍衛城。是水淨行者，依水求得清淨，朝夕入水，行沐浴行。
時尊者阿難，清晨著衣持鉢，入舍衛城乞食。於舍衛城乞食後，收鉢而來詣世尊處，詣而禮敬世尊，坐於一面。
坐一面尊者阿難，以此白世尊曰：「世尊！於此名喚參伽羅婆婆羅門住舍衛城。是水淨行者，依水求得清淨，朝夕入水，行沐浴行。世尊，願垂哀憐，到參伽羅婆婆羅門家。」
世尊，許允此而默然。
時，世尊清晨，著衣持鉢，到參伽羅婆婆羅門家，即坐於所設之座。
時參伽羅婆婆羅門，近詣世尊前，與世尊互相致問，坐於一面。
世尊以此告一面坐之參伽羅婆婆羅門曰：「婆羅門！汝為水淨行者，依水求得清淨，朝夕入水，行沐浴行，真實否？」
「尊者瞿曇！是真實。」
「婆羅門！汝見有如何利益，為水淨行者，依水求得清淨，朝夕入水，行沐浴行耶？」
「尊者瞿曇！我於此日間所為之惡業，依夕時沐浴洗落，夜間所為之惡業，依清晨沐浴將之洗落。尊者瞿曇！我見此利益故，為水淨行者，依水求得清淨，朝夕入水，行沐浴行。」
〔世尊：〕
婆羅門戒律 渡津之法湖
澄清無污穢 常受善人讚
聖者浴其處 體淨渡彼岸
如是已言，參伽羅婆婆羅門，以此白世尊曰：「尊者瞿曇！是最勝者……乃至……願尊者瞿曇從今日以後，受我終生歸依為優婆塞。」
