19.p2

There was then a certain monk who rose from his seat. [He adjusted his robes to bare his right shoulder,] bowed to the Buddha, [and withdrew to stand at one side]. He then said to the Buddha, “[It would be good,] Bhagavān, if you were to give me a brief explanation of the Dharma. Having listened to the Dharma, I will go alone to a quiet place, focus on contemplation, and live earnestly. Having lived earnestly, I’ll then think, ‘A good son [leaves home, cuts off his hair and beard, puts on the Dharma robes,] is a believer in the homeless, and leaves home … up to … He himself knows that he won’t be subject to a later existence.’”
