Then several mendicants robed up in the morning and, taking their bowls and robes, entered Sāvatthī for alms.Then it occurred to him,“It’s too early to wander for alms in Sāvatthī.Why don’t we visit the monastery of the wanderers of other religions?”

Then they went to the monastery of the wanderers of other religions and exchanged greetings with the wanderers there.When the greetings and polite conversation were over, they sat down to one side. The wanderers said to them:
