The Discourse to Paccanīka
202.
At Sāvatthī.
Now at that time a brahmin named Paccanīkasāta was dwelling at Sāvatthī.
Then this occurred to the brahmin Paccanīkasāta -
"What if I were to approach the ascetic Gotama.
Whatever the ascetic Gotama will say, that very thing I shall oppose."
Now at that time the Blessed One was walking up and down in the open air.
Then the brahmin Paccanīkasāta approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he said this to the Blessed One as he was walking up and down -
"Speak, ascetic, a teaching."
By one with a defiled mind, and one full of vehemence.
Having given up resentment, he indeed would know what is well spoken."
When this was said, the brahmin Paccanīkasāta said this to the Blessed One - "Excellent, Master Gotama, excellent, Master Gotama! Etc. May Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge from this day forth for life."
