[48] Standing to one side, the naked ascetic Kassapa said this to the Blessed One: "We would ask Master Gotama about a certain point, if Master Gotama would grant us the opportunity to answer the question."
"This is not the time for a question, Kassapa; we have entered among the houses."
A second time the naked ascetic Kassapa said this to the Blessed One: "We would ask Master Gotama about a certain point, if Master Gotama would grant us the opportunity to answer the question."
"This is not the time for a question, Kassapa; we have entered among the houses."
A third time … "we have entered among the houses."
