[808] Then the yakkha Sūciloma approached the Blessed One and, having approached, bent his body up against the Blessed One.
Then the Blessed One drew his body away.
Then the yakkha Sūciloma said this to the Blessed One: "Are you afraid of me, ascetic?"
"I am not afraid of you, friend; but your touch is evil."
"I will ask you a question, ascetic. If you do not answer me, ascetic, I will drive your mind (citta) mad, or split your heart, or seize you by the feet and hurl you across the Gaṅgā."
"Friend, I do not see anyone in this world with its devas, its Māra, and its Brahmā, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its devas and humans, who could drive my mind mad, or split my heart, or seize me by the feet and hurl me onto the far bank of the Gaṅgā. But still, friend, ask whatever you wish."
