<p>I remember Ajahn Punnadhammo telling a story about maybe the Buddha or Moggallana taming a ferocious bathhouse Naga and emerging from the bathhouse displaying that it was now a small snake in a bowl. What is the canonical or otherwise reference for this story?</p>

What is the reference for taming a ferocious bathhouse Naga into a tiny snake in a bowl?
