2.7.1
Atha kho so, āvuso, jarasiṅgālo aññataraṃ vanasaṇḍaṃ nissāya āsayaṃ kappesi.
And so that’s what he did.
2.7.2
Tatrāsayaṃ kappetvā sāyanhasamayaṃ āsayā nikkhami, āsayā nikkhamitvā vijambhi, vijambhitvā samantā catuddisā anuvilokesi, samantā catuddisā anuviloketvā tikkhattuṃ sīhanādaṃ nadissāmīti siṅgālakaṃyeva anadi bheraṇḍakaṃyeva anadi, ke ca chave siṅgāle, ke pana sīhanādeti.
But when he tried to roar a lion’s roar, he only managed to squeal and yelp like a jackal. And what is a pathetic jackal’s squeal next to the roar of a lion?
2.7.3
Evameva kho tvaṃ, āvuso pāthikaputta, sugatāpadānesu jīvamāno sugatātirittāni bhuñjamāno tathāgate arahante sammāsambuddhe āsādetabbaṃ maññasi.
In the same way, reverend, while living off the leavings of the Holy One, enjoying the leftovers of the Holy One, you presume to attack the Realized One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!
2.7.4
Ke ca chave pāthikaputte, kā ca tathāgatānaṃ arahantānaṃ sammāsambuddhānaṃ āsādanāti.
Who are the pathetic Pāṭikaputtas to attack the Realized Ones, the perfected ones, the fully awakened Buddhas?’
