They treated her like a daughter-in-law for a month, but then like a slave. Please tell them to treat her properly.” Udāyī went to the Ājīvakas and said, “Please don’t treat this girl like a slave; treat her properly.” They replied, “We deal with the courtesan, not with you. A monastic shouldn’t get involved. You should behave like a proper monastic. So go away! We don’t want anything to do with you.” Being dismissed, he returned to Sāvatthī.
