[630] Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Venerable Udena was dwelling near Bārāṇasī, in the Khemiya Mango Grove. Now on that occasion the brahmin Ghoṭamukha had arrived at Bārāṇasī on some business. Then the brahmin Ghoṭamukha, while walking and wandering about to stretch his legs, approached the Khemiya Mango Grove. Now on that occasion the Venerable Udena was walking up and down in the open air. Then the brahmin Ghoṭamukha approached the Venerable Udena; having approached, he exchanged greetings with the Venerable Udena, and when the courteous and memorable talk was concluded, walking along beside the Venerable Udena as he was walking up and down, he said this: "Good ascetic, there is no righteous renunciate life (dhammika paribbaja) — such is my view in this matter; and that is because I have not seen venerable ones such as yourself, or whatever the dhamma might be herein."
