(Mv.I.74.1) [139] Now on that occasion Ven. Mahā Kassapa had a candidate for Acceptance. Then Ven. Mahā Kassapa sent a messenger to Ven. Ānanda’s presence, (saying,) “May Ānanda come and make the proclamation for him.”
Ven. Ānanda said, “I don’t dare to use the elder’s name. I have respect for the elder.”[1]
They reported the matter to the Blessed One.
“Monks, I allow one to be mentioned in the proclamation by clan name.”
