རིགས་པ་དང་གྲོལ་བའི་སྤོབས་པ་ཅན་ཤ་སྟག་ཡིན་ན།
“If these monks here are all versed in the Three Piṭakas, are teachers of Dharma in their own right, and possessed of intelligence and untrammeled confidence, why does he, who teaches the Dharma using this out-of-date Ekottarikāgama, not request teachings from them?”
