Furthermore, the Ratnarāśi-sūtra says: 'The Buddha told Kāśyapa: "If a monk wishes to go to an araṇya, he should reflect upon eight dharmas. What are the eight? First, I should renounce my body; second, I should renounce my life; third, I should renounce gain and sustenance; fourth, I should leave behind all delightful places; fifth, dying in the mountains, I should die like a deer; sixth, in an araṇya, I should adopt the conduct of an araṇya; seventh, I should sustain myself by the Dharma; eighth, I must not sustain myself by afflictions."'
