He asks Ānanda what is the aim of holy life and, on being told that it is the abandoning of desire by means of jhāna, suggests that it would be a task without end. But Ānanda, by means of an illustration, explains how the task does come to an end, and Uṇṇābha expresses great satisfaction with the answer. Perhaps this refers to another brahmin of the same name. - [Previous: v1.c9.264](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.264) - [Next: v1.c9.266](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.266) - [Up: v1.c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.265](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.265) · Pramāṇa
