[94] Now at that time two yakkhas, companions, were traveling from the northern quarter to the southern quarter on some business or other. Those yakkhas saw the Venerable Sāriputta, his hair freshly shaven, seated in the open air on a moonlit night. On seeing him, one yakkha said to the second yakkha: "It occurs to me, friend, to deal this ascetic a blow on the head." When this was said, the other yakkha said to that yakkha: "Enough, friend! Do not assault the ascetic. Exalted, friend, is that ascetic, of great psychic power, of great might." A second time that yakkha said to the other yakkha: "It occurs to me, friend, to deal this ascetic a blow on the head." A second time the other yakkha said to that yakkha: "Enough, friend! Do not assault the ascetic. Exalted, friend, is that ascetic, of great psychic power, of great might." A third time that yakkha said to the other yakkha: "It occurs to me, friend, to deal this ascetic a blow on the head." A third time the other yakkha said to that yakkha: "Enough, friend! Do not assault the ascetic. Exalted, friend, is that ascetic, of great psychic power, of great might." Then that yakkha, paying no heed to the other yakkha, dealt the Venerable Elder Sāriputta a blow on the head. With that blow he might even have felled an elephant seven or eight cubits (ratana) tall, or split a great mountain peak. And yet that yakkha, crying "I am burning!", fell right there into the Great Hell (mahāniraya).
