### [1.418](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2040.1.418)

爾時太子作此言已。即從座起。與王師大臣辭別。北行詣阿羅邏迦蘭仙人。于時王師大臣見太子去。啼泣懊惱。一者念太子情深。二者奉受王使來太子所。而復不能移轉其意。徘徊路側不能自反。互共議言。既被王使而無力效。今者空歸云何奉答。我等當留所從五人。聰明智慧心意柔軟。為性忠直種族強者。密令伺察看其進止。作此言已顧瞻其傍。見憍陳如等五人。而語之言。汝等悉能留止此不。五人答言。善哉如勅。進止去來當密伺察。即便辭別趣太子所。王師大臣還歸宮城。

> At that time, having spoken these words, the prince rose from his seat, bid farewell to the royal preceptor and the great minister, and went north to visit the ṛṣi Ārāḍa Kālāma. Then the royal preceptor and the great minister, seeing the prince depart, wept in grief and distress: first, because their love for the prince was deep; second, because having received the king's envoy mission to come to the prince, they were nonetheless unable to sway his resolve. Hesitating by the roadside, they could not bring themselves to return, and said to each other: "Having been charged with the king's mission yet having achieved nothing, how can we answer upon returning empty-handed? We should leave behind five of our attendants who are intelligent and wise, gentle of mind, loyal and upright in nature, and from strong clans, and secretly have them watch and observe his movements." Having said this, they looked to their side and saw the five men, including Kauṇḍinya, and said to them: "Can you all stay and remain here?" The five answered: "Very well, as you instruct. We will secretly watch and observe his movements and comings and goings." They then bid farewell and went toward the prince's place. The royal preceptor and the great minister returned to the palace city.
