[1] Thus have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was staying near Rājagaha in Jivaka's Mango Grove.

Then the venerable Koṭṭhika the Great came to see the Exalted One
on coming to him greeted him courteously,
and after the exchange of greetings and compliments
sat down at one side.

Seated at one side he said to the Exalted One:

"Well for me, lord, if the Exalted One would teach me the Norm in brief,
hearing which teaching from the Exalted One
I might dwell solitary,
remote,
earnest,
ardent
and aspiring."
