Te ubhopi devesu ca manussesu ca saṃsarantā ekaṃ buddhantaraṃ khepesuṃ.

For the whole period between Kassapa Buddha and his chronological successor, Gotama Buddha, the monk and the novice wandered from existence to existence among gods and humans.
|
Then for the whole period between one Buddha and the next these two people wandered from existence to existence among gods and men.
|
От прошлого будды до нынешнего оба они, странствуя в мирском кружении, рождались небожителями и людьми.

It is said that Gotama Buddha saw these two and predicted: “Five hundred years after I have attained complete Nibbāna these two will reappear, and unravelling the matter by questions and by similes, they will make clear the Dhamma and Discipline taught by me.”13
|
And these two also were forseen by our Buddha, just as he foresaw Tissa the Elder, the son of the Moggalī, so to them also did he foretell their future fate, saying: ‘Five hundred years after I have passed away will these two reappear, and the subtle Law and Doctrine taught by me will they two explain, unravelling and disentangling its difficulties by questions put and metaphors adduced.’
|
Видел их и наш Просветленный и, так же как Тишье, сыну Маудгали22, предрек им будущее: «Они явятся в мир через пятьсот лет после моего упокоения, и тонкости учения – послушания, заповеданного мною, они словно колтун расчешут, словно из зарослей колючих вытащат и разъяснят: один задаст вопросы, другой удачно ответит сравнениями».
