[575] Then King Pasenadi of Kosala addressed General Viḍūḍabha: "General, who was it that introduced this topic of discussion in the royal palace?" "It was Sañjaya, great king, the brahmin of the Ākāsa clan." Then King Pasenadi of Kosala addressed a certain man: "Come, my good man, in my name summon Sañjaya the brahmin of the Ākāsa clan, saying: 'Sir, King Pasenadi of Kosala summons you.'" "Even so, sire," that man replied to King Pasenadi of Kosala, and he approached Sañjaya the brahmin of the Ākāsa clan; having approached, he said to Sañjaya the brahmin of the Ākāsa clan: "Sir, King Pasenadi of Kosala summons you."
Then King Pasenadi of Kosala said to the Blessed One: "Venerable sir, could it be that something was spoken by the Blessed One with reference to one thing, and yet a person took it to mean something else? In what way, venerable sir, does the Blessed One recall having spoken that statement?" "Thus, great king, do I recall having spoken that statement: 'There is no ascetic or brahmin who will know all and see all at once — this is not possible.'"
"The Blessed One has spoken what is grounded in reason, venerable sir; the Blessed One has spoken what is accompanied by reason, venerable sir: 'There is no ascetic or brahmin who will know all and see all at once — this is not possible.' Venerable sir, there are these four classes (vaṇṇa): khattiyas (nobles), brahmins (brāhmaṇa), vessas (merchants), and suddas (menials). Among these four classes, venerable sir, would there be any distinction, would there be any difference?"
