1 This is a stock passage (occurring e.g. at p. 8 of vol. i of the Dīgha Nikāya in the Pāli Text Society's edition), and cannot be regarded as historical here. In the 77th Sutta of the Majjhima Nikāya, the same words are used by the revolting disciples of Pūraṇa Kassapa against their master, who, like Nigaṇṭha Nātaputta, was a rival of Gotama.
