He got up from his seat, bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving. Then Migaj\u0101la, living alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute, soon realized the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.
