This episode is a narration of the 35th Sutta of the Middle Discourses of the Buddha, The Cūḷasaccaka Sutta, which translates as “the Shorter Discourse with Saccaka”. In this sutta the Buddha is challenged by a debater named Saccaka who challenges the Buddha to a contest. Despite Saccaka’s bragging about how superior he is at debating, the Buddha is not at all perturbed.
This translation of the Cūḷasaccaka Sutta is by Bhikkhu Sujato and was sourced from Sutta Central.
If you'd like to understand more about this sutta you could listen to a sutta study class led by Ayya Vayama about this sutta.
May you all benefit from hearing the original teachings of the Buddha.
