THE BUDDHA QUESTIONED A HAUNTHY HERMIT,
SACCAKA WHO WAS DULY THREATENED BY A CELESTIAL DEMON TO ANSWER ACCORDINGLY,
AFTER BEING DEFEATED.
After losing in lively debate, the haughty hermit
Saccaka refused to answer accordingly when the Buddha asked a question.
Only when he was threatened to be beaten up by a celestial demon for his
arrogance, only then did he finally realise his own folly and listened
to the Buddha's preaching meekly. This wholesome action of his would augur
well for his future.
