Pamāda Sutta.—Two Pacceka Brahmās, Subrahmā and Suddhāvāsa, came to see the Buddha, but finding him engaged in meditation, decided to visit a certain infatuated (\*pamatta\*) Brahmā in a certain Brahma-world. On their suggesting to him that he should visit the Buddha, he reproduced himself one thousand times and said he had greater iddhi-power than the Buddha. But Subrahmā reproduced himself two thousand times, and pointed out that the Buddha's iddhi-power exceeded theirs. It is said that the infatuated Brahmā visited the Buddha later.¹
