Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesSankha Sutta: The Buddha, at the Pavarika ambavana, has a discussion with Asibandhakaputta regarding the teachings of Nigantha Nataputta and proves to him that Niganthas teachings are contradictory and misleading as compared with his own. The Ariyan disciple, by following the Buddhas teaching, cultivates kindliness, compassion and equanimity and suffuses the four quarters with these qualities, as easily as a powerful conch blower fills the four quarters with sound. S.iv.317f.
