Now, at that time the nun Sukk\u0101 was teaching Dhamma, surrounded by a large assembly. Then a native spirit was so devoted to Sukk\u0101 that he went from street to street and from square to square, and on that occasion recited these verses: \u201cWhat\u2019s up with these people in R\u0101jagaha? They sleep like they\u2019ve been drinking mead! They don\u2019t attend on Sukk\u0101 as she\u2019s teaching the state free of death.
