With Vāsudatta
Standing to one side, the godling Vāsudatta spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho, ḍayhamānova matthake; Kāmarāgappahānāya, sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti.
“Like they’re struck by a sword, like their head was on fire, a mendicant should wander mindful, to give up sensual desire.”
“Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho, ḍayhamānova matthake; Sakkāyadiṭṭhippahānāya, sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti.
“Like they’re struck by a sword, like their head was on fire, a mendicant should wander mindful, to give up substantialist view.”
