[359] When this was said, the Blessed One said to Pañcakaṅga the carpenter (thapati): "Carpenter, if that were so, then a young, tender infant lying on its back would be accomplished in the skillful, supreme in the skillful, an invincible ascetic attained to the highest attainment — according to the statement of the wanderer Uggāhamāna Samaṇamuṇḍikāputta. For, carpenter, a young, tender infant lying on its back does not even have the notion 'body'; how then could it do an evil deed with the body, apart from mere wriggling? A young, tender infant lying on its back, carpenter, does not even have the notion 'speech'; how then could it utter evil speech, apart from mere crying? A young, tender infant lying on its back, carpenter, does not even have the notion 'thought' (saṅkappa); how then could it think an evil thought, apart from mere whimpering? A young, tender infant lying on its back, carpenter, does not even have the notion 'livelihood'; how then could it earn a living by evil livelihood, apart from its mother's milk? If that were so, carpenter, then a young, tender infant lying on its back would be accomplished in the skillful, supreme in the skillful, an invincible ascetic attained to the highest attainment — according to the statement of the wanderer Uggāhamāna Samaṇamuṇḍikāputta."
