At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“Those have not deciphered the teachings
may be led astray by the doctrines of others.
Asleep, they have not woken up:
it is time for them to wake!”
“Those who have well deciphered the teachings
won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others.
They have woken up, they rightly know,
smoothly they walk in the rough.”
