Answer: Concerning praise and dispraise, venerable sir. For Suppiya, venerable sir, spoke dispraise of the Buddha in many ways, spoke dispraise of the Dhamma, spoke dispraise of the Saṅgha; but the youth Brahmadatta, the pupil of the wanderer Suppiya, spoke praise of the Buddha in many ways, spoke praise of the Dhamma, spoke praise of the Saṅgha. It was spoken concerning that subject matter, venerable sir.
