Tathā danto ca pana nāḷāgiri hatthī ahosi. Tena kho pana samayena manussā imaṁ gāthaṁ gāyanti— “Daṇḍeneke damayanti, aṅkusehi kasāhi ca; Adaṇḍena asatthena, nāgo danto mahesinā”ti. Manussā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti— “yāva pāpo ayaṁ devadatto, alakkhiko, yatra hi nāma samaṇassa gotamassa evaṁmahiddhikassa evaṁmahānubhāvassa vadhāya parakkamissatī”ti. Devadattassa lābhasakkāro parihāyi. Bhagavato ca lābhasakkāro abhivaḍḍhi. 2.6. Pañcavatthuyācanakathā
