At Sāvatthī. Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

“Someone who’s fond of conceit can’t be tamed,
and someone without immersion can’t be a sage.
Living negligent alone in the wilderness,
they can’t pass beyond Death’s domain.”

“Having given up conceit, serene within oneself,
with a healthy heart, everywhere released;
living diligent alone in the wilderness,
they pass beyond Death’s domain.”
