sn10.12:1.4 “Get out, ascetic!”
sn10.12:1.5 Saying, “All right, respectable sir,” the Buddha went out.
sn10.12:1.6 “Get in, ascetic!”
sn10.12:1.7 Saying, “All right, respectable sir,” the Buddha went in.

sn10.12:1.19 “Get out, ascetic!”
sn10.12:1.20 “No, respectable sir, I won’t get out.
sn10.12:1.21 Do what you must.”
sn10.12:1.22 “I will ask you a question, ascetic.
sn10.12:1.23 If you don’t answer me, I’ll drive you insane, or explode your heart, or grab you by the feet and throw you to the far shore of the Ganges!”
sn10.12:1.24 “I don’t see anyone in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans who could do that to me.
sn10.12:1.25 But anyway, ask what you wish.”
