Un joven bien educado y acomodado, renunció a su familia y su herencia principesca en la flor de la vida para buscar la verdadera libertad y el fin del sufrimiento (dukkha). Después de siete años de austeridades en el bosque, redescubrió el «camino medio» y alcanzó su meta, convirtiéndose en el Buddha.Ver en el glosario was staying near Kosambī, in Ghosita’s Monastery.

Then several mendicants went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. Then they said,“What reason does Bhāradvāja the Alms-Gatherer see for doing this?”
