Brāhmaṇa Sutta.—The brahmin Uṇṇābha visits Ānanda at the Ghositārāma and questions him. Ānanda tells him that the life of a recluse has for its object the abandonment of desire and that this is brought about by the cultivation of the four \*iddhipādas\*. That would be a task without end, says Uṇṇābha; but Ānanda proves to him that once the purpose is accomplished, there remains nothing more to do. Uṇṇābha accepts Ānanda as his teacher.¹ - [Previous: v2.c29.1054](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.1054) - [Next: v2.c29.1056](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.1056) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.1055](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.1055) · Pramāṇa
