Vissajjanā – sāvatthiyaṃ bhante sambahule bhikkhū ārabbha ‘‘dāruṇo bhikkhave lābhasakkārasiloko pharuso antarāyiko anuttarassa yogakkhemassa adhigamāya. Seyyathāpi bhikkhave mīḷhakā gūthādī gūthapūrā puṇṇā gūthassa, purato cassa mahāgūthapuñjo, sā tena aññā mīḷhakā atimaññeyya ‘‘ahamhi gūthādī gūthapūrā puṇṇā gūthassa, purato ca myāyaṃ mahāgūthapuñjo’’ti evamādinā bhagavatā bhāsitaṃ.
Answer: At Sāvatthī, venerable sir, concerning many bhikkhus, it was spoken by the Blessed One: "Dreadful, bhikkhus, are gain, honour, and praise; harsh, severe, an obstacle to the attainment of the unsurpassed security from bondage. Just as, bhikkhus, a dung beetle feeding on dung, full of dung, gorged with dung, has a great pile of dung before it, and on that account despises other dung beetles, thinking: 'I am a dung-eater, full of dung, gorged with dung, and this great pile of dung is in front of me,'" and so forth.
7.6.4
Taṃ hi tassa bhikkhave moghapurisassa hoti dīgharattaṃ ahitāya dukkhāya.

Therefore, bhikkhus, you should train thus: 'We will abandon arisen gain, honour, and praise, and arisen gain, honour, and praise will not persist obsessing our mind.' Thus indeed, bhikkhus, should you train."

Answer: At Sāvatthī, venerable sir, concerning many bhikkhus, it was spoken by the Blessed One: "Dreadful, bhikkhus, are gain, honour, and praise; bitter, harsh, an obstacle to the attainment of the unsurpassed security from bondage.

7.6.11
Sace kho tvaṃ tāta agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajasi, tādiso tāta bhavāhi, yādisā sāriputtamoggallānā.
‘If you, dear son, go forth from the household life into homelessness, be such a one, dear son, as Sāriputta and Moggallāna.’
7.6.12
Mā ca kho tvaṃ tāta sekhaṃ appattamānasaṃ lābhasakkārasiloko anupāpuṇātu–
‘And do not let gain, honor, and praise overtake you, dear son, while you are a trainee who has not attained the goal of mind.’—

Vissajjanā – sāvatthiyaṃyeva bhante sambahule bhikkhū ārabbha ‘‘dāruṇo bhikkhave lābhasakkārasiloko kaṭuko pharuso antarāyiko anuttarassa yogakkhemassa adhigamāya. Saddhā bhikkhave upāsikā ekaṃ dhītaraṃ piyaṃ manāpaṃ evaṃ sammā āyācamānā āyāceyya ‘tādisā ayye bhavāhi, yādisā khujjuttarā ca upāsikā veḷukaṇḍakiyā ca nandamātā’ti. Esā bhikkhave tulā etaṃ pamāṇaṃ mama sāvikānaṃ upāsikānaṃ, yadidaṃ khujjuttarā ca upāsikā veḷukaṇḍakiyā ca nandamātā’’ti evamādinā bhante bhagavatā bhāsitaṃ.
Answer: Venerable sir, right in Sāvatthī, concerning many monks, it was spoken by the Blessed One beginning thus: “Dreadful, monks, are gain, honor, and praise; harsh, bitter, an obstacle to attaining the unsurpassed security from bondage. Monks, a faithful female lay follower, properly making an aspiration for her only beloved and pleasing daughter, would aspire: ‘Be such a one, dear lady, as Khujjuttarā the female lay follower and Veḷukaṇḍakiyā, Nanda’s mother.’ This, monks, is the balance, this is the standard for my female lay disciples, that is, Khujjuttarā the female lay follower and Veḷukaṇḍakiyā, Nanda’s mother.
7.6.17
Sace kho tvaṃ ayye agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajasi, bhādisā ayye bhavāhi, yādisā khemā ca bhikkhunī uppalavaṇṇā ca–

Therefore, monks, you should train thus.”
