The Buddha was once staying at the Migāramātupāsāda, and
on the day of the pavārana he summoned the five hundred arahants who were with
him and asked if they had any fault to find with him.
Sāriputta, speaking for
them, uttered the Buddha's praises, and the Buddha, in his turn, spoke of
Sāriputta's greatness and of the blamelessness of the arahants. Thereupon
Vangīsa, also present, extolled the Buddha in verse. S. i.190f.; also
Thag.vs.1234ff.
