Then someone with faith and confidence sees that mendicant performing those superhuman feats.

Then someone with faith and confidence sees that mendicant revealing another person’s thoughts.
Atthi kho, bhikkhu, sakko nāma devānamindo amhehi abhikkantataro ca paṇītataro ca.  
Sakka, lord of gods …

the god named Vasavattī …

But there is Brahmā, the Great Brahmā, the Vanquisher, the Unvanquished, the Universal Seer, the Wielder of Power, God Almighty, the Maker, the Creator, the First, the Begetter, the Controller, the Father of those who have been born and those yet to be born. He is our superior.

‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavā’.

‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavā’ti.  
‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’

Then a certain Great Brahmā, knowing what the Buddha Vipassī was thinking, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, vanished from the Brahmā realm and reappeared in front of the Buddha Vipassī.

As long as the mendicants honor, respect, esteem, and venerate the senior mendicants—of long standing, long gone forth, fathers and leaders of the Saṅgha—and think them worth listening to, they can expect growth, not decline.

Sometimes the Realized One, not focusing on any signs, and with the cessation of certain feelings, enters and remains in the signless immersion of the heart. Only then does the Realized One’s body become more comfortable.

Then a certain person coming behind those carts went up to Āḷāra Kālāma and said to him:

At that time it was raining and pouring, lightning was flashing, and thunder was cracking. And not far from the threshing-hut two farmers who were brothers were killed, as well as four oxen. balibaddā → balivaddā (bj, pts1ed)
Atha kho, pukkusa, ātumāya mahājanakāyo nikkhamitvā yena te dve kassakā bhātaro hatā cattāro ca balibaddā tenupasaṅkami.

‘Just now, sir, it was raining and pouring, lightning was flashing, and thunder was cracking. And two farmers who were brothers were killed, as well as four oxen.

“Well then, sir, please wait for a week, so that we can instruct our sons and brothers in kingship. When a week has passed, we shall go forth. Your destiny shall be ours.” rajjena → rajje (sya-all, km, pts1ed)

So long as they are alive, they’re lighter, softer, more flexible.

But when they die they become heavier, stiffer, less flexible.

Bhūtapubbaṁ, rājañña, aññataro aggiko jaṭilo araññāyatane paṇṇakuṭiyā sammati.  
Once upon a time, a certain fire-worshiping matted-hair ascetic settled in a leaf hut in a wilderness region. sammati → vasati (bj, pts1ed)
Atha kho, rājañña, aññataro janapade sattho vuṭṭhāsi.  
Then a caravan came out from a certain country. sattho → satthavāso (sya-all, km) | janapade sattho → janapado satthavāso (sya-all, km); janapadapadeso (pts1ed)
Bhūtapubbaṁ, rājañña, aññataro sūkaraposako puriso sakamhā gāmā aññaṁ gāmaṁ agamāsi.  
Once upon a time, a certain swineherd went from his own village to another village.
Bhūtapubbaṁ, rājañña, aññataro janapado vuṭṭhāsi.  
Once upon a time, the inhabitants of a certain country emigrated.

When one friend returned with a bundle of sunn hemp, they didn’t please their parents, their partners and children, or their friends and colleagues. And they got no pleasure and happiness on that account.
Tasmiṁ kho pana dāne uttaro nāma māṇavo vāvaṭo ahosi.  
Now, it was a brahmin student named Uttara who organized that offering. vāvaṭo → byāvaṭo (bj); vyāvaṭo (pts1ed)

But the brahmin student Uttara who organized the offering gave gifts carefully, thoughtfully, with his own hands, not giving the dregs. When his body broke up, after death, he was reborn in company with the gods of the Thirty-Three.
“Yo pana te, āvuso, dāne vāvaṭo ahosi uttaro nāma māṇavo, so kuhiṁ upapanno”ti?  
“But the student named Uttara who organized that offering for you—where has he been reborn?”

Atha kho, bhaggava, aññataro licchavimahāmatto uṭṭhāyāsanā taṁ parisaṁ etadavoca:  
Then, Bhaggava, a certain Licchavi minister stood up and said to the assembly,
Atha kho aññataro satto āyukkhayā vā puññakkhayā vā ābhassarakāyā cavitvā suññaṁ brahmavimānaṁ upapajjati.  
Then a certain sentient being—due to the running out of their life-span or merit—passes away from that host of radiant deities and is reborn in that empty mansion of Brahmā.
Tatrāvuso, yo so satto paṭhamaṁ upapanno, so dīghāyukataro ca hoti vaṇṇavantataro ca mahesakkhataro ca.  
And the being who was reborn first is more long-lived, beautiful, and illustrious than those who arrived later.

the ascetic Gotama has gone forth from the neighboring clan of the Sakyans. anantarā → anuttaro (bahūsu)

“I am one of those in the world who are perfected or on the path to perfection.”

Now, at that time a certain mendicant was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, with his body straight. As a result of past deeds, he suffered painful, sharp, severe, and acute feelings, which he endured unbothered, with mindfulness and awareness.

Seven days after the beings intent on awakening are born, their mothers pass away and are reborn in the host of Joyful Gods.”

Evaṁ vutte, aññataro bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:  
When he said this, one of the mendicants said to the Buddha,

Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, imissāyeva sāvatthiyā aññataro rājā ahosi.  
Once upon a time, mendicants, right here in Sāvatthī there was a certain king.

Even though that mendicant, after eating the almsfood, spent the day and night rid of hunger and weakness, it is the former mendicant who is more worthy of respect and praise.
