Elder Sāriputta is slandered by one of the bhikkhus, and the Buddha called him to account for himself; instead of defending himself he enumerated his virtues, which caused the great earth to quake; the bhikkhu who slandered him then asked pardon and Elder Sāriputta asked pardon in return; the Buddha then spoke a verse.
