The Buddha then continued on to Bhaddavatikā, and he stayed there. Just then Venerable Sāgata went to the hermitage of that dreadlocked ascetic and entered his fire hut. After preparing a spread of grass, he sat down, crossed his legs, straightened his body, and established mindfulness in front of him. Seeing that Sāgata had entered the fire hut, the dragon was upset and emitted smoke. Sāgata, too, emitted smoke. The dragon was not able to contain his rage and emitted flames. Sāgata entered the fire element and he, too, emitted flames. Then, after conquering fire with fire, Sāgata went to Bhaddavatikā. After staying at Bhaddavatikā for as long as he liked, the Buddha set out wandering toward Kosambī.
