The Discourse on the Sounding
49.
Thus have I heard -
On one occasion the Blessed One was wandering on a journey among the Kosalans together with a large Community of monks.
Now at that time many young men, appearing to be mocking, were passing by not far from the Blessed One.
The Blessed One saw those many young men, appearing to be mocking, having passed by not far away.
Then the Blessed One, having understood this matter, at that time uttered this inspired utterance -
"Confused, though speaking like the wise, speakers whose range is mere words;
As far as they wish to stretch their mouths, they do not know by what they are led." The ninth.
