Then after completing the three months of the rainy season residence, those mendicants set out wandering. Not seeing those mendicants, the deity haunting that forest cried. And on that occasion they spoke this verse: \u201cDissatisfaction, <j>it seems to me today, seeing so many vacated seats. They were so learned, such brilliant speakers! Where have these disciples of Gotama gone?\u201d When they had spoken, another deity replied with this verse: \u201cThey\u2019ve gone to Magadha, they\u2019ve gone to Kosala, and some are in the Vajjian lands. Like deer that wander free of ties, the mendicants live with no abode.\u201d","title":"Several Mendicants Set Out Wandering","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":115}
