mn75:5.2 a very sad sight indeed,
mn75:5.3 to see a bed for the worthy Gotama, that baby-killer!”
mn75:5.4 “Be careful what you say, Māgaṇḍiya,
mn75:5.5 be careful what you say.
mn75:5.6 Many astute aristocrats, brahmins, householders, and ascetics are devoted to the worthy Gotama. They’ve been guided by him in the noble system, the skillful teaching.”
mn75:5.7 “Even if I was to see the worthy Gotama face to face, worthy Bhāradvāja, I would say to his face:
mn75:5.8 ‘The ascetic Gotama is a baby-killer.’
mn75:5.9 Why is that?
mn75:5.10 For so it came to me while sleeping.”
mn75:5.11 “If you don’t mind, I’ll tell the ascetic Gotama about this.”
mn75:5.12 “Don’t worry, worthy Bhāradvāja. You may tell him exactly what I’ve said.”
