12. "But when you were asked: 'Is there, Master Ananda, any single bhikkhu who was appointed by Master Gotama...? ' you answered 'There is no such single bhikkhu...' When you were asked: 'Is there, Master Ananda, any single bhikkhu who has been chosen by the Sangha...? ' you answered: 'There is no such single bhikkhu...' When you were asked: 'Is there, Master Ananda, any single bhikkhu whom you honour, respect, revere, and venerate, and on whom you live in dependence honouring and respecting him? ' you answered: 'There is such a single bhikkhu whom we now honour...and on whom we live in dependence honouring and respecting him.'
