1"Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu endowed with faith, rightly aspiring, should aspire thus: ‘May I become like Sāriputta and Moggallāna!’ This is the standard and criterion[n.319] Esā bhikkhave tulā etaṁ pamāṇaṁ. Mp: "Just as one weighing gold or grain uses a scale, taking that as the standard, the measure, or criterion, so this is the standard and criterion for my bhikkhu disciples, namely, Sāriputta and Moggallāna. It is possible to weigh or measure oneself by aspiring, ‘May I be like them in regard to wisdom or psychic potency!’ But not in any other way." for my bhikkhu disciples, that is, Sāriputta and Moggallāna."

1"Saddho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu evaṁ sammā āyācamāno āyāceyya:  ‘tādiso homi yādisā sāriputtamoggallānā’ti. Esā, bhikkhave, tulā etaṁ pamāṇaṁ mama sāvakānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ yadidaṁ sāriputtamoggallānā"ti.
