Sengliang comments: The third causal context. Although equally listed as disbelief, this single event especially discusses turning one's tongue against and eclipsing the Venerable and Holy One, revealing his mind even more. The reason for asking twice about Kora-khattiya was to know whether the actual matter corresponded to the Buddha's words or not. And once Kora-khattiya had personally verified it, [the Buddha] went back to the root with Sunakkhatta and consequently admonished him. Baoliang comments: The Holy One's transformation has no fixed mode; his response to beings is manifold. Since [Sunakkhatta's] mind harbored jealousy, how could he be saved?
