Brahmāyu Sutta

Records the story of the conversion of Brahmāyu (q.v.)

The Sutta contains a description of the thirty-two marks of the Great Man (Mahāpurisa) (Cp. Lakkhaṇa Sutta) and also particulars of the Buddha’s conduct in various circumstances — such as walking, eating, meditating, teaching, etc. That is an example of a sutta in which the word "dhammacakkhu" means the three Paths leading to the fruition of a Non-returner (anāgāmiphala). MA.ii.617.
