[742] Then it occurred to the Venerable Vaṅgīsa: "This Venerable Sāriputta is instructing the bhikkhus with a talk on the Dhamma … [with speech] making the meaning intelligible; and those bhikkhus, treating it as worthwhile, … are listening to the Dhamma. Suppose I were to extol the Venerable Sāriputta to his face with fitting verses."
Then the Venerable Vaṅgīsa rose from his seat, arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, and, extending his joined palms in reverence toward the Venerable Sāriputta, said this to the Venerable Sāriputta: "An inspiration has come to me, friend Sāriputta! An inspiration has come to me, friend Sāriputta!"
"Then express your inspiration, friend Vaṅgīsa."
