At Sāvatthī.
Now at that time the Buddha had gone into retreat for the day’s meditation.
Then the independent divinities Subrahmā and Suddhāvāsa went to the Buddha and stationed themselves one by each door-post.
Then Subrahmā recited this verse about the mendicant Kokālika in the Buddha’s presence:
“Who having known would judge
the immeasurable by measuring them?
I think anyone who’d do such a thing
is an ordinary person, shrouded in darkness.”
