[1155] Then the Blessed One addressed the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna: "Moggallāna, these fellow practitioners of the holy life (sabrahmacārino) dwelling below in the mansion of Migāra's mother are restless, puffed up, fickle, garrulous, of loose speech, with muddled mindfulness, without clear comprehension, unconcentrated, with wandering minds, with faculties unrestrained. Go, Moggallāna; stir those bhikkhus to a sense of urgency." "Yes, venerable sir," the Venerable Mahāmoggallāna replied to the Blessed One. Then he performed such a feat of psychic power (iddhābhisaṅkhāra) that with his big toe he made the mansion of Migāra's mother shake, quake, and tremble.
