[369] Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling in the Gosiṅga Sāla-wood Park (Gosiṅgasālavanadāya) together with many very well-known elder disciples — the Venerable Sāriputta, the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, the Venerable Mahākassapa, the Venerable Anuruddha, the Venerable Revata, the Venerable Ānanda, and other very well-known elder disciples.
Then the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, having emerged from seclusion (paṭisallāna) in the evening, approached the Venerable Mahākassapa; having approached, he said this to the Venerable Mahākassapa: "Come, friend Kassapa, let us go to the Venerable Sāriputta to hear the Dhamma." "Yes, friend," the Venerable Mahākassapa replied to the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna. Then the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, the Venerable Mahākassapa, and the Venerable Anuruddha approached the Venerable Sāriputta to hear the Dhamma.
The Venerable Ānanda saw the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, the Venerable Mahākassapa, and the Venerable Anuruddha approaching the Venerable Sāriputta to hear the Dhamma; having seen them, he approached the Venerable Revata; having approached, he said this to the Venerable Revata: "Friend Revata, those true men (sappurisā) are approaching the Venerable Sāriputta to hear the Dhamma. Come, friend Revata, let us go to the Venerable Sāriputta to hear the Dhamma." "Yes, friend," the Venerable Revata replied to the Venerable Ānanda. Then the Venerable Revata and the Venerable Ānanda approached the Venerable Sāriputta to hear the Dhamma.
