The Long Āgama Sūtra 27.30

27.30

時，王小復前進，告壽命言：「汝欺誑我，陷固於我，欲引我眾持與冤家。如是再三。所以者何？彼有大眾千二百五十人，寂然無聲，將有謀也。」

You’ve set a trap to send me and this great assembly into the hands of our enemies.” He repeated this three times. “Why is that? The Buddha has a great assembly of 1,250 people, but it’s silent. There are no voices. Where are you leading us?”
