Pāsādakampana Sutta

Sutta

A discourse recounting how Mahā-Moggallāna, at the Buddha’s command, shook the Migāramātupāsāda with his thumb to startle novices indulging in worldly chatter.

The Theragāthā Commentary (ThagA.ii.184) says that the incident of Moggallāna rocking the Migāramātupāsāda with his thumb, at the command of the Buddha, in order to frighten some novices who indulged in worldly talk — is recounted in the Pāsādakampana Sutta.¹

This incident is recounted in the Moggallāna Sutta of the Saṃyuttanikāya (S.v.269 f).

It is also related in the Suttanipāta Commentary (SNA.i.336 f), as an introduction to the Uṭṭhāna Sutta.
