[484] "Bhikkhus at present, venerable sir, Blessed One, are difficult to admonish; they are endowed with qualities that make them difficult to admonish; they are impatient, and they do not accept instruction respectfully. Here, venerable sir, I saw a bhikkhu named Bhaṇḍa, a pupil of Ānanda, and a bhikkhu named Ābhijjika, a pupil of Anuruddha, vying with each other in regard to their learning, saying: 'Come, bhikkhu, who will speak more? Who will speak better? Who will speak longer?'"
