Pāsādakampana Sutta

The Theragāthā Commentary (ThagA.ii.184) says that the incident of Moggallāna rocking the Migāramātupāsāda with his thumb, at the command of the Buddha, in order to frighten some novices who indulged in worldly talk -  is recounted in the Pāsādākampana Sutta.

This incident is recounted in the Moggallāna Sutta of the Samyutta Nikāya (S.v.269f).

It is also related in the Sutta Nipāta Commentary (SNA.i.336f), as an introduction to the Utthāna Sutta.
