First [Chapter On] Time [And] Place [Of] Hearing [This] Sūtra
我闻如是，一时，佛住王舍城，耆阇崛山中。
I [have] heard thus, [that at] one time, [the] Buddha [was] abiding [at] Rājagṛha City, within Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa.
与大比丘众万二千人俱，一切大圣，神通已达。
With [the] Great Bhikṣu assembly [of] twelve thousand persons together, all [of whom are] great sages, [with] supernormal powers already attained.
