[10] "Even so, friend Pāṭikaputta, while living on the deeds of the Sugata (sugatāpadānesu jīvamāno), eating the leavings of the Sugata, do you presume that the Tathāgatas, the Arahants, the Fully Awakened Ones, are to be assailed? What are wretched Pāṭikaputtas, and what is the assailing of Tathāgatas, Arahants, Fully Awakened Ones?"
But when, Bhaggava, Jāliya, the pupil of the wooden-bowl ascetic, was unable even with this simile to make the naked ascetic Pāṭikaputta move from that seat, he then said this to him:
"Roaming about the empty [place],
surveying himself amid the scraps,
so long as the jackal does not see himself,
so long does he fancy, 'I am a tiger.'
Yet he only cried the very cry of a jackal —
what are wretched jackals, and what is the lion's roar?"
