### [v1.c6.3624](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3624)

The Assaji-Punabbasukas seem to have had a special dislike for Sāriputta and Moggallāna. Once the Buddha, on his way somewhere from Sāvatthi, accompanied by Sāriputta, Moggallāna and five hundred others, sent word to the Assaji-Punabbasukas to prepare sleeping places for them. They sent answer that the Buddha was very welcome, but not Sāriputta and Moggallāna, because "they were men of sinful desires and influenced by such desires."⁴
