[241] Sitting to one side, the wanderer Vacchagotta said this to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, I have heard this: 'The ascetic Gotama is all-knowing (sabbaññū) and all-seeing (sabbadassāvī); he claims knowledge and vision (ñāṇadassana) without remainder, thus: "Whether I am walking or standing, asleep or awake, knowledge and vision are constantly and continuously present to me."' Venerable sir, do those who speak thus—'The ascetic Gotama is all-knowing and all-seeing; he claims knowledge and vision without remainder, thus: "Whether I am walking or standing, asleep or awake, knowledge and vision are constantly and continuously present to me"'—speak in accordance with what the Blessed One has said? Do they not misrepresent the Blessed One with what is untrue? Do they explain in accordance with the Dhamma, so that no legitimate consequence of their assertion comes to a ground deserving censure?"
"Vaccha, those who speak thus: 'The ascetic Gotama is all-knowing and all-seeing; he claims knowledge and vision without remainder, thus: "Whether I am walking or standing, asleep or awake, knowledge and vision are constantly and continuously present to me"'—they do not speak in accordance with what I have said; rather, they misrepresent me with what is baseless and untrue."
