4.44

From "Maudgalyāyana said to the Buddha" below is second, presenting his decline as unfit. The text has four parts: first, presenting his decline as unfit; second, recounting the reason for being unfit; third, properly recounting the event of being rebuked; fourth, concluding his unfitness. In the first part: formerly, when he preached the Dharma to householders, he was subsequently rebuked. At that time he did not know how to respond; how could he be fit to convey the Tathāgata's command and go inquire?
