mn79:6.1 “Well then, Udāyī, suggest something for me to talk about.”
mn79:6.2 “Sir, a few days ago someone was claiming to be all-knowing and all-seeing, to know and see everything without exception, thus: ‘Knowledge and vision are constantly and continually present to me, while walking, standing, sleeping, and waking.’
mn79:6.3 When I asked them a question about the first beginning, they dodged the issue, distracted the discussion with irrelevant points, and displayed annoyance, hate, and bitterness.
mn79:6.4 That reminded me of the Buddha:
mn79:6.5 ‘Surely it must be the Blessed One, the Holy One who is so skilled in such matters.’”
mn79:6.6 “But Udāyī, who was it that made such a claim and behaved in such a way?”
mn79:6.7 “It was the Jain ascetic of the Ñātika clan, sir.”
