The Discourse on Bilaṅgika
190.
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the Squirrels' Feeding Ground.
The brahmin Bilaṅgika Bhāradvāja heard -
"A brahmin of the Bhāradvāja clan, it seems, has gone forth from home into homelessness in the presence of the ascetic Gotama" - angry and displeased, he approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he stood to one side in silence.
Then the Blessed One, having known with his mind the reflection in the mind of the brahmin Bilaṅgika Bhāradvāja, addressed the brahmin Bilaṅgika Bhāradvāja in verse -
A pure person without blemish;
The evil returns to that very fool,
Like subtle dust thrown against the wind."
When this was said, the brahmin Bilaṅgika Bhāradvāja said this to the Blessed One - "Excellent, Master Gotama! Etc. he directly knew. And the Venerable Bhāradvāja became one of the Worthy Ones.
