Sáriputta and Moggallána are staying at the Kalanda-kanivápa and, in the course of their conversation, it transpires that Moggallána, exercising clairvoyance and clairaudience, had seen and heard the Buddha, then dwelling in Jetavana. The subject of his talk was consummate energy (áraddhaviriya). Sáriputta declares that, in comparison with Moggallána, he himself is like a mound of gravel set up alongside the Himálaya. Moggallána returns the compliment by saying that, beside Sáriputta, he is like a pinch of salt set up alongside a large jar of salt, and recalls the high praise bestowed on Sáriputta by the Buddha himself. S.ii.275f.
