[256] Visākhā Migāramātā heard: "It is said that those bhikkhus of Kosambī — makers of strife, makers of quarrels, makers of disputes, makers of contention, makers of legal issues (adhikaraṇa) in the Saṅgha — are coming to Sāvatthī." Then Visākhā Migāramātā approached the Blessed One; having approached and paid homage to the Blessed One, she sat down to one side. Seated to one side, Visākhā Migāramātā said this to the Blessed One: "It is said, venerable sir, that those bhikkhus of Kosambī — makers of strife, makers of quarrels, makers of disputes, makers of contention, makers of legal issues in the Saṅgha — are coming to Sāvatthī. How, venerable sir, should I conduct myself toward those bhikkhus?"
"Well then, Visākhā, give gifts to both sides. Having given gifts to both sides, listen to the Dhamma from both sides. Having listened to the Dhamma from both sides, approve of the view, the acceptance, the preference, and the adherence of those bhikkhus there who are speakers of Dhamma (dhammavādin)."
