[246] Then, not long after the Blessed One had departed, this thought occurred to those bhikkhus: "Friends, the Blessed One, having recited this summary (uddesa) in brief — 'Bhikkhu, as to the source from which reckonings born of proliferating perception (papañcasaññāsaṅkhā) beset a person: if therein there is nothing to be delighted in, nothing to be welcomed, nothing to be clung to, this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies (anusaya) to lust, this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to aversion, this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to doubt (vicikicchā), this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to conceit, this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to lust for existence, this itself is the end of the underlying tendencies to ignorance (avijjā); this itself is the end of taking up rods and taking up weapons, of quarrels, contention, disputes, recrimination, malicious speech, and false speech; here these evil, unwholesome dhammas cease without remainder' — has risen from his seat and entered his dwelling without expounding the meaning in detail. Who, indeed, could expound in detail the meaning of this summary recited in brief by the Blessed One, whose meaning he did not expound in detail?"
Then this thought occurred to those bhikkhus: "This Venerable Mahākaccāna is both praised by the Teacher and esteemed by his wise companions in the holy life, and the Venerable Mahākaccāna is capable of expounding in detail the meaning of this summary recited in brief by the Blessed One, whose meaning he did not expound in detail. Suppose we were to approach the Venerable Mahākaccāna and, having approached, question the Venerable Mahākaccāna about this matter."
Then those bhikkhus approached the Venerable Mahākaccāna; having approached, they exchanged greetings with the Venerable Mahākaccāna, and when the courteous and memorable talk was concluded, they sat down to one side. Seated to one side, those bhikkhus said this to the Venerable Mahākaccāna: "Friend Kaccāna, the Blessed One, having recited this summary in brief — 'Bhikkhu, as to the source from which reckonings born of proliferating perception beset a person: if therein there is nothing to be delighted in … here these evil, unwholesome dhammas cease without remainder' — rose from his seat and entered his dwelling without expounding the meaning in detail. Friend Kaccāna, not long after the Blessed One had departed, this thought occurred to us: 'Friends, the Blessed One, having recited this summary in brief — "Bhikkhu, as to the source from which reckonings born of proliferating perception beset a person: if therein there is nothing to be delighted in … here these evil, unwholesome dhammas cease without remainder" — has risen from his seat and entered his dwelling without expounding the meaning in detail. Who, indeed, could expound in detail the meaning of this summary recited in brief by the Blessed One, whose meaning he did not expound in detail?' Then, friend Kaccāna, this thought occurred to us: 'This Venerable Mahākaccāna is both praised by the Teacher and esteemed by his wise companions in the holy life, and the Venerable Mahākaccāna is capable of expounding in detail the meaning of this summary recited in brief by the Blessed One, whose meaning he did not expound in detail. Suppose we were to approach the Venerable Mahākaccāna and, having approached, question the Venerable Mahākaccāna about this matter.' Let the Venerable Mahākaccāna expound it."
