At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

Now at that time the wanderer Uggāhamāna Samaṇamaṇḍikāputta was residing together with around five hundred wanderers in Mallikā’s single-halled monastery for philosophical debates, hedged by pale-moon ebony trees.

Then the chamberlain Pañcakaṅga left Sāvatthī in the middle of the day to see the Buddha.

Why don’t I go to Mallikā’s monastery to visit the wanderer Uggāhamāna?”

So that’s what he did.

Now at that time, Uggāhamāna was sitting together with a large assembly of wanderers making an uproar, a colossal racket. They engaged in all kinds of low talk, such as

talk about kings, bandits, and chief ministers; talk about armies, threats, and wars; talk about food, drink, clothes, and beds; talk about garlands and fragrances; talk about family, vehicles, villages, towns, cities, and countries; talk about women and heroes; talk at the street market and the place for water pots; talk about the departed; motley talk; tales of land and sea; and talk about being reborn in this or that place.

Uggāhamāna saw Pañcakaṅga coming off in the distance,

and hushed his own assembly,

“Be quiet, good fellows, don’t make a sound.

Here comes Pañcakaṅga, a disciple of the ascetic Gotama.

He is included among the white-clothed lay disciples of the ascetic Gotama, who is residing in Sāvatthī.

Then those wanderers fell silent.

Then Pañcakaṅga approached Uggāhamāna, and exchanged greetings with him.

When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side. Uggāhamāna said to him:

“Householder, when an individual person has four qualities I describe them as an invincible ascetic—accomplished in the skillful, excelling in the skillful, attained to the highest attainment.
