8.51
時,彼散陀那居士語梵志曰:「汝向自言:『瞿曇若來,吾等當稱以為瞎牛。』世尊今來,汝何不稱?又汝向言:『當以一言窮彼瞿曇,能使默然,如龜藏六,謂可無患,以一箭射,使無逃處。』汝今何不以汝一言窮如來耶?」
The householder Sandhāna then said to the wanderer, “You yourself had said, ‘If Gautama were to come here, we would call him a one-eyed cow.’ The Bhagavān is here now. Why don’t you call him that? You also said, ‘I’d finish that Gautama with a single word. He’d fall silent like a turtle hiding in its shell. It’d be no trouble to take away his escape with a single arrow.’ Why don’t you finish the Tathāgata with a single word now?”
