1.37

The Buddha sent Maudgalyāyana to invite Śāriputra. Śāriputra said: 'Try lifting my sash; I fear you cannot manage it.' Maudgalyāyana then pulled at the sash; the heavens and earth of the three-thousand great-thousandfold suns and moons all shook, yet he could not lift the sash. Śāriputra then formed the intention to arrive at the Buddha's place first; Maudgalyāyana followed behind, yet Śāriputra arrived before him. The Buddha knew that the two were each foremost."
