an9.11:1.1 At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
an9.11:1.2 Then Venerable Sāriputta went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,
an9.11:1.3 “Sir, I have completed the rainy season residence at Sāvatthī.
an9.11:1.4 I wish to leave to wander the countryside.”
an9.11:1.5 “Please, Sāriputta, go at your convenience.”
an9.11:1.6 Then Sāriputta rose from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.
an9.11:1.7 And then, not long after Sāriputta had left, a certain monk said to the Buddha,
an9.11:1.8 “Sir, Venerable Sāriputta attacked me and left without saying sorry.”
an9.11:1.9 So the Buddha addressed one of the monks,
an9.11:1.10 “Please, monk, in my name tell Sāriputta that
an9.11:1.11 the Teacher summons him.”
an9.11:1.12 “Yes, sir,” that monk replied. He went to Sāriputta and said to him,
an9.11:1.13 “Reverend Sāriputta, the Teacher summons you.”
an9.11:1.14 “Yes, reverend,” Sāriputta replied.
