v1.c10.184

It is noteworthy that the verse, attributed above to Ekuddāniya, occurs in the *Vinaya*⁴ as having been constantly used by Cūlapanthaka. Whenever it was his turn to preach to the nuns at Sāvatthi they expected no effective lesson, since he always repeated the same stanza, namely, that which is above attributed to Ekuddāniya. The thera, hearing of their remarks, forthwith gives an exhibition of his iddhi-power and of his knowledge of the Dhamma, thereby winning their tribute of admiration.
