[503] "Furthermore, Upāli, a bhikkhu who is an accuser, wishing to accuse another, should reflect thus: 'Am I one who has learned much (bahussuta), a retainer of what has been heard, an accumulator of what has been heard? Those teachings (dhammā) that are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, which proclaim, with meaning and with phrasing, the holy life (brahmacariya) that is entirely complete and pure — have such teachings been much learned by me, retained, recited verbally, examined by the mind, well penetrated by view? Is this quality found in me, or not?' If, Upāli, the bhikkhu is not one who has learned much, a retainer of what has been heard, an accumulator of what has been heard — those teachings that are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, which proclaim, with meaning and with phrasing, the holy life that is entirely complete and pure — if such teachings have not been much learned by him, retained, recited verbally, examined by the mind, well penetrated by view, there will be those who say to him: 'Come now, let the venerable one first master the scriptural tradition (āgama).' There will be those who say this to him."
