The Long Āgama Sūtra 17.6

17.6

時，有沙彌周那在波波國，夏安居已，執持衣鉢，漸詣迦維羅衛緬祇園中，至阿難所，頭面禮足，於一面立，白阿難言：「波波城內有尼乾子，命終未久，其諸弟子分為二分，各共諍訟，面相毀罵，無復上下，迭相求短，競其知見：『我能知是，汝不能知；我行真正，汝為邪見。以前著後，以後著前，顛倒錯亂，無有法則。我所為妙，汝所言非，汝有所疑，當諮問我。』大德阿難！時，彼國人民事尼乾者，聞諍訟已，生厭患心。」

The novice monk Cunda was staying in Pāpā at the time for the summer retreat. When it was finished, he took his robe and bowl and made his way to Layman [Vedhañña]’s Grove near Kapilavastu. He went to Ānanda, bowed his head at his feet, and stood to one side. He then said to Ānanda, “In the city of Pāpā, Nigranthaputra’s life ended not long ago, and his disciples are divided into two factions. They fight with each other, scolding each other to their faces. They have no hierarchy and look for each other’s shortcomings. They argue about what they know and see: ‘I can understand this, but you cannot.’ ‘My practices are true and correct; yours are wrong views.’ ‘You put what’s first last and what’s last first, getting things reversed and confused, and then there isn’t any order.’ ‘What I do is sublime; what you say is wrong.’ ‘If you have any doubts, feel free to ask me.’ Virtuous Ānanda, the people of that country who served Nirgrantha are disgusted when they hear their fighting.”
