[331] "Furthermore, Udāyī, my disciples esteem me for higher wisdom (adhipaññā): 'The ascetic Gotama is wise; he possesses the supreme aggregate (khandha) of wisdom. That he should fail to foresee a future course of argument, or fail to refute thoroughly, with legitimate reason, a doctrine of others that has arisen — this is not possible.' What do you think, Udāyī? Would my disciples, knowing thus and seeing thus, break in and interrupt the talk?"
"No indeed, venerable sir."
"Udāyī, I do not expect instruction from my disciples; invariably it is my disciples who expect instruction from me. In that, Udāyī, my disciples esteem me for higher wisdom: 'The ascetic Gotama is wise; he possesses the supreme aggregate of wisdom. That he should fail to foresee a future course of argument, or fail to refute thoroughly, with legitimate reason, a doctrine of others that has arisen — this is not possible.' This, Udāyī, is the third quality because of which my disciples honor, respect, revere, and venerate me; and, honoring and respecting me, they dwell relying on me."
