**The Scattering of the Eager Refusal**
Ahinḍa, many Rāisaras went to the house, and he was there. I do not know him! Did he perhaps do something by means of a **cuṇṇajoga** or a **kammaṇajoga** or a **kammajoga** or a **hiyuḍḍāvaṇa** or a **kāuḍḍāvaṇa** or an **ābhiōgiē** or a **vasīkaraṇa** or a **kouyakamma** or a **bhūikamma** or a **mūle kanda** or a **challi valli** or a **siliyā** or a **guliyā** or an **ōsaha** or a **bhesajja** or something obtained previously, so that I would be desirous of him again?
Then the elder Ājātā, having been told this, said to the Pottilā, "We, the Devāṇuppiyā, the Samanīta, the Nigganthīta, and the Gutabhaṃbhācarīta, are not worthy of being spoken to by you, let alone being spoken to, instructed, or invited. We, the Devāṇuppiyā, will only speak about the **kevalipannatta** Dharma."
Then the Pottilā said to the elder Ājātā, "I wish, elder, that you would speak to me about the **kevalipannatta** Dharma."

"Alas, Devāṇuppiyā, do not be attached!" Then the Pottilā was instructed by the elder Ājātā in the **pañcāṇuvvaiya**, and so on, and was ordained into the Dharma. Then the elder Ājātā bowed and paid homage, and welcomed her. Then the Pottilā, having become a Samanōvāsiyā, went and so on, and became a **paḍilābhamanī** and lived.
Then, on that occasion, the Pottilā, in the past, in the time of her previous existence, while she was a householder, being mindful, having thought, desired, and conceived in her mind, thought, "I was formerly dear, beloved, and cherished by that son. Now I am not dear, not beloved, not cherished, not cherished, and so on, and I have no enjoyment. This, indeed, is my fault, and I will be reborn in the presence of the elder Ājātā." She thought thus, and after a while, when that son came, she, having seen him, with her head bowed and her hands clasped in salutation, said, "Thus, Devāṇuppiyā, I have been reborn in the Dharma, in the presence of the elder Ājātā, and so on, and I have been reborn in the presence of the elder Ājātā."
Then that son said to the Pottilā, "Thus, Devāṇuppiyā, you, having become a **muṇḍā**
