AN 8.11 Verañja sutta - At VerañjāRef

The brahmin Verañja accuses the Buddha of failing to honor aged brahmins and lists eight slanders; the Buddha reinterprets each one in a favorable sense, then recounts how he broke open the egg of ignorance like a chick and realized the three knowledges in the three watches of the night, and Verañja goes for refuge.
