The Discourse on Lakuṇḍaka Bhaddiya
240.
He was dwelling at Sāvatthī.
Then the Venerable Lakuṇḍakabhaddiyo approached the Blessed One.
The Blessed One saw the Venerable Lakuṇḍakabhaddiyo coming from afar.
Having seen them, he addressed the monks -
"Do you see, monks, this monk coming, ugly, unsightly, stunted, one who is despised by the monks?"
"Yes, venerable sir."
"This monk, monks, is of great supernormal power, of great might, and there is no attainment easy to obtain that has not been previously attained by that monk.
That unsurpassed final consummation of the holy life, for the sake of which sons of good family rightly go forth from home into homelessness, in this very life, having realised by direct knowledge himself, having attained, he dwells."
This is what the Blessed One said, etc.
the Teacher -
All fear the lion, there is no equality in body.
He indeed is great there, not the fool with a large body." The sixth.
