At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“One fond of conceit can’t be tamed,
no sage is lacking immersion.
Living negligent alone in the wilderness,
they can’t pass beyond Death’s dominion.”
“Having given up conceit, serene within oneself,
with a good heart, everywhere free;
living diligent alone in the wilderness,
they pass beyond Death’s dominion.”
