Udāyī agreed. Soon afterwards he went to that courtesan and said, “Why didn’t you give them your daughter?” “I don’t know who they are, sir, and I won’t give my only daughter to be taken to another village.” “Please give her to them. I know them.” “If you know them, I’ll give her away.”

She then gave her daughter to those Ājīvaka followers, and they took her away. For a month they treated her like a daughter-in-law, but then like a slave. The girl sent a message to her mother, saying, “Mom, I’m unhappy and miserable. For a month they treated me like a daughter-in-law, but then like a slave. Come, mom, and take me home.” Soon afterwards the courtesan went to those Ājīvakas and said, “Please don’t treat my girl like a slave; treat her properly!” They replied, “We deal with the monastic, not with you. Go away! We don’t want anything to do with you.” Being dismissed, she returned to Sāvatthī.
