Path of Purity by Buddha Ghosh. Translated by P. Maung Tui XX P. I & II P. 342: The whole wide world we traverse with our

The Life of the Buddha by Edward J. Thomas (1927).
P. 188. The ascetic Malimkaya Putta is said to have asked many questions, one of which was whether a Tathagata exists after death. Buddha refused to say whether he exists, whether he does not exist.
