Mahāgosiṅga Sutta

A discussion in Gosiṅgasālavanadāya, between Sāriputta, Mahā-Moggallāna, Mahā-Kassapa, Anuruddha, Revata, and Ānanda. Sāriputta is visited by the others in the evening, and asks them what type of monk would illumine the Gosiṅga wood.

They all seek the Buddha and ask for his opinion. He praises the opinion of each of the Elders, but he himself would choose a monk who is delivered from the corruptions (āsava). M.i.212‑19.
