中部経典(MN93 §18.29–18.37)
‘Gentlemen, your fervor is not in vain; your spiritual path is not fruitless. ‘Only brahmins are the best class; other classes are inferior. Please let go of your malevolence towards me.’ ‘We let go of our malevolence towards you. But who are you, sir?’ ‘Have you heard of the seer Devala the Dark?’ ‘Yes, sir.’ ‘I am he, sirs.’ Then they approached Devala and bowed to him.
