He said: 'You know well that I have plenty of gold, plenty of cows, horses, slaves, attendants, and apparel; do not heap on me what I have already in plenty, in abundance, and superabundance.' The king said: 'Gautama, do you wish (for instruction from me) in the proper way?' Gautama replied: 'I come to you as a pupil.' In word only have former sages (though Brahmans) come as pupils (to people of lower rank), but Gautama actually dwelt as a pupil (of Pravâhana, who was a Râganya) in order to obtain the fame of having respectfully served his master .

(गौतम ने कहा,) 'आप जानते ही हैं कि मेरे पास सोना, गाय-घोड़े, दासियाँ, परिचारक और वस्त्र बहुत हैं, अनन्त हैं, अपर्यन्त हैं। जो मेरे पास इतना है, उसका और ढेर मुझ पर न लगाइए।' (प्रवाहण ने कहा,) 'गौतम, क्या तुम विधि से इच्छा करते हो?' (गौतम ने कहा,) 'मैं आपके पास शिष्य बनकर आता हूँ।' पहले लोग केवल वाणी से ही पास आते थे। वह तो शिष्य बनकर रहने की कीर्ति के लिए वास्तव में रहा।
