Then, Gautama, at another time, I set out on wandering together with Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra from the town of Kūrmagrāma to the town of Siddhārthagrāma. When we reached that area quickly where that sesame plant was, Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra spoke thus to me: “Venerable Sir, at that time you explained [and] expounded thus to me: ‘Gośāla! This sesame plant will mature, it will not fail to mature; and these seven sesame-flower jīvas, having passed away repeatedly, will be reborn as seven sesame seeds in a single seedpod of this very sesame plant.’ That is false! And this is seen right before our eyes: this sesame plant has not matured; it is completely immature; and those seven sesame-flower jīvas, having passed away repeatedly, have not been reborn as seven sesame seeds in a single seedpod of this very sesame plant.”
Then, Gautama, I spoke thus to Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra: “Gośāla, when I explained [and] expounded this matter to you at that time, you did not believe it, did not trust it, did not accept it. Disbelieving, mistrusting, not accepting this matter, [and] aiming at me with the thought, ‘May he become a speaker of falsehood,’ you stepped back slowly from my presence. Having stepped back, you approached that sesame plant. Having approached, you uprooted that sesame plant together with its clod of earth, and having uprooted it, threw it aside in a secluded spot. At that very moment, Gośāla, a divine mass of clouds appeared. Then that divine mass of clouds quickly thundered, quickly lightened, [and] quickly rained divine water—rain with neither too much water nor too much mud, with sparse drops, destroying dust and grit—so that that sesame plant revived, was reborn, took root, and was established right there.
And those seven sesame-flower jīvas, having passed away repeatedly, were reborn as seven sesame seeds in a single seedpod of that very sesame plant. Therefore, Gośāla, that sesame plant has indeed matured, not remained immature; and those seven sesame-flower jīvas, having passed away repeatedly, were reborn as seven sesame seeds in a single seedpod of this very sesame plant. Thus indeed, Gośāla, plant-bodied beings undergo entry into an abandoned [body].”
Then Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra, when I explained [and] expounded this matter, did not believe it, did not trust it, did not accept it. Disbelieving, mistrusting, not accepting this matter, he approached that sesame plant. Having approached, he plucked that sesame seedpod from that sesame plant, and having plucked it, cracked open the seven sesame seeds in the palm of his hand.
Then, as Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra was counting those seven sesame seeds, this internal, thought, desired, mentally conceived notion arose: ‘Thus indeed all jīvas too undergo entry into an abandoned [body].’ This, Gautama, was Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra’s [doctrine of] entry [into an abandoned body]; this, Gautama, is declared to be Gośāla Maṅkhaliputra’s departure from my presence with his own [path].”
