Furthermore, the Zhong benqi jing states: The World-Honoured One thought: 'Formerly my path went via the brahmacārin Ārāḍa Kālāma, who treated me with courtesy; I should go and deliver him.' In the sky, a deity said: 'This person passed away seven days ago.' Again he thought: 'I should deliver Udraka Rāmaputra.' The deity again announced: 'He passed away yesterday.' Again he thought: 'Formerly my father the king dispatched five men: the first named Kauṇḍinya, the second named Aśvajit, the third named Bhadrika, the fourth named Daśabala Kāśyapa, and the fifth named Mahānāman. Their service and toil were diligent; I should go and deliver them.'
