And the Blessed One dressed in the forenoon, and
taking his bowl and robe, entered Rajagaha on his
alms-round. Then he saw the householder�s son
Sigalaka, who having arisen early in the morning and
set forth from Rajagaha, with wet clothes, wet hair,
and joined palms, was paying homage to the separate
directions: east, south, west, north, below, and
above. After seeing the householder Sigalaka he said
thus: �Why, householder�s son, have you arisen early
in the morning and set forth from Rajagaha, with wet
clothes, wet hair, and joined palms, and are paying
homage to the separate directions: east, south, west,
north, below, and above?�
