[370] "Venerable sir, some days ago, several days past, one claiming to be all-knowing and all-seeing (sabbaññū sabbadassāvī), to possess knowledge and vision (ñāṇadassana) without remainder, saying: 'Whether I am walking or standing, asleep or awake, knowledge and vision are continuously and constantly present to me' — when he was asked by me a question concerning the past (pubbanta), he evaded it by talking of one thing after another, diverted the talk to an outside subject, and displayed anger, hatred, and displeasure. At that, venerable sir, the recollection (sati) arose in me with reference to the Blessed One alone: 'Ah, surely it is the Blessed One! Ah, surely it is the Sublime One (Sugata), who is skilled in these matters!'"
"But who, Udāyī, was this one who, claiming to be all-knowing and all-seeing, to possess knowledge and vision without remainder, saying: 'Whether I am walking or standing, asleep or awake, knowledge and vision are continuously and constantly present to me' — when asked by you a question concerning the past, evaded it by talking of one thing after another, diverted the talk to an outside subject, and displayed anger, hatred, and displeasure?"
"The Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta, venerable sir."
