15.Atha kho koṭisatā arahanto āyasmantaṃ nāgasenaṃ paripuṇṇavīsativassaṃ rakkhitatale upasampādesuṃ.
|
When Venerable Nāgasena was twenty years of age he was ordained by the arahats on the Guarded Plateau.
|
And the innumerable company of the Arahats, then and there at the Guarded Slope, admitted the venerable Nāgasena, then twenty years of age, to full membership in the higher grade of the Order.
|
А когда достопочтенному Нагасене исполнилось двадцать лет, тысяча миллионов святых совершила в Заповедном Логу обряд его посвящения72.

Upasampanno ca panāyasmā nāgaseno tassā rattiyā accayena pubbaṇhasamayaṃ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya upajjhāyena saddhiṃ gāmaṃ piṇḍāya pavisanto evarūpaṃ parivitakkaṃ uppādesi "tuccho vata me upajjhāyo, bālo vata me upajjhāyo, ṭhapetvā avasesaṃ buddhavacanaṃ paṭhamaṃ maṃ abhidhamme vinesī"ti.

Early one morning, Venerable Nāgasena took his bowl and robe and entered the village together with his preceptor on the alms round. On entering the village he thought: “Empty indeed is my preceptor, foolish indeed is my preceptor in that, having set aside the rest of the Buddha’s word, he taught me the Abhidhamma first.”
|
Now the next day after he had thus been admitted into full membership in the Order, the venerable Nāgasena robed himself at dawn, and taking his bowl, accompanied his teacher on his round for alms to the village below. And as he went this thought arose within him: ‘It was, after all, empty-headed and foolish of my teacher to leave the rest of the Buddha’s word aside, and teach me the Abhidhamma first!’
|
Наутро после посвящения достопочтенный Нагасена встал, надел верхнюю одежду, взял в руки миску и пошел со своим наставником за подаянием. Вдруг у входа в деревню ему подумалось: «А ведь пуст мой наставник! А ведь глуп мой наставник! Что же это он мне сначала абхидхарму преподал, а не другие Речения Просветленного!»
