25.53

Evaṃ vutteti evaṃ sandhānena gahapatinā udānaṃ udānentena vutte. Nigrodho paribbājako ayaṃ gahapati mama santike nisinnopi attano satthāraṃyeva thometi ukkaṃsati, amhe pana atthītipi na maññati, etasmiṃ uppannakopaṃ samaṇassa gotamassa upari pātessāmīti sandhānaṃ gahapatiṃ etadavoca.

'When this was said' means when this was said by the householder Sandhāna as he uttered the inspired utterance. Nigrodha the wanderer, thinking, 'Though this householder sits near me, he only praises and exalts his own Teacher, but does not even acknowledge that we exist; I will cast upon the ascetic Gotama the anger that has arisen toward this man,' said this to the householder Sandhāna.
