Seeing venerable Lakuṇḍaka Bhaddiya’s mind liberated from the taints through not grasping from a talk on the Dhamma by venerable Sāriputta, the Blessed One expresses an inspired utterance about his liberation.

Seeing venerable Sāriputta instructing venerable Lakuṇḍaka Bhaddiya even more, considering him to be a trainee despite his mind having already been liberated, the Blessed One expresses an inspired utterance about the cutting of the round and the end of suffering.

Seeing the venerable Lakuṇḍaka Bhaddiya being treated with contempt by the bhikkhus for his stunted appearance, the Blessed One reveals his great psychic power and attainment of Arahantship with an inspired verse.
