Suttas:
- “With Subha” (the renunciate life compared with trade, while householder life compared to agriculture): MN 99
- “Nanda’s Mother” (Nandamātā is a non-returner, and psychic as well): AN 7.53
- “Nothing to Hide”: AN 7.58 - “The Realized One has explained the teaching well. I see no reason for anyone—whether ascetic, brahmin, god, Māra, or Brahmā, or anyone else in the world—to legitimately scold me, saying: ‘For such and such reasons you haven’t explained the teaching well.’ Since I see no such reason, I live secure, fearless, and assured.”
Other mentions:
