Oltre a Śāriputra anche gli altri śrāvaka, Mahā-Kātyāyana, Mahā and Maha-Kasyapa-Maudgalyayana rejoice because they understand that even though he achieved the nirvana of Arhat may continue until the realization of 'Anuttara-samyak Sambodhi, the "revival" deep and complete. To explain the Buddha Sakyamuni their happiness, they also tell a parable that has similarities to the parable of the "Prodigal Son" in the Christian Gospel.



This parable tells of a son who left his father in his youth living increasingly in a state of destitution. Past ten years wandering the world, casually back to his homeland. Meanwhile, the father had tried in vain because he was rich was eager to transfer his immense wealth. In his wandering son comes in front of the majestic palace and sees the father's father's ornate but not acknowledged, even thought to be a king and then to risk arrest and decides to flee. The father, who instead had recognized him immediately, send a servant to capture him. The son, reached dall'inserviente and scared, she wiggles, and then passes out. The father then decides not to tell him the truth immediately, but to leave that he can discover it by herself. Find made him, let him go, but now sends two men to hire him as a servant with a good pay. The father, however, is profoundly sad to see her son, dirt and unconscious, to work for him as a servant, then strips himself of his wealth and travestitevi a servant introduced him. Gradually acquire the father makes the child safety and awareness of its value, to entrust the management of its assets. Eventually, he reached the point of death, the father called all the relatives and revealed to them and the same child throughout the story, leaving all the inheritance. Thus, Sravaka tell that you understand the profound teaching of Buddha and after passing the nirvana of Arhat, which corresponds to paying the child in servitude, claim to have obtained the 'Anuttara-samyak Sambodhi, which while not having the desired reached their own accord, as the property of the father arrived without his son had never requested them.
