v2.c36.3984

It is said² that once the Bodhisatta was a pleasure-seeker named Munāli. One day he saw Surabhi, a Pacceka Buddha, putting on his outer robe just outside the city. Near by a woman was walking, and Munāli said in jest, "Look, this recluse is no celibate, but a rake." It was this utterance of the Bodhisatta that brought to the Buddha, as retribution, the disgrace in connection with Sundarī.
