At that time, Śāriputra had been ordained for half a month, standing in attendance beside the Buddha and fanning him with a fan. Dīrghanakha saw the Buddha, exchanged greetings, sat to one side, and thought: “All doctrines can be refuted, all words can be dismantled, and all attachments can be overturned. Among them, what is the real mark of all phenomena? What is the ultimate truth? Like trying to fathom the bottom of a great ocean, having sought it for so long, I have not found a single phenomenon. With what doctrine did he win over my sister's son?” Having thought thus, he said to the Buddha, “Gautama, I do not accept any dharmas.”
