The sutta contains the story of the lady of Sāvatthi, called Videhikā, who had a reputation for gentleness until tested by her servant girl and found wanting. The saw is only one of numerous similes which occur in the discourse. It is quoted in the Mahāhatthipadopama Sutta,² and is elsewhere³ given as an example of a sutta preached on account of someone’s lack of patience.
