After soliciting alms, he left the city as he returned. He saw the Nirgrantha disciple’s life had ended in an empty cemetery. Seeing that, he came to me, bowed his head at my feet, and sat to one side, but that wasn’t what he spoke to me about. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “Wanderer, you should know, I said to Sunakṣatra, ‘How is it, Sunakṣatra?
