26. The gods, along with Indra, went to the place where the revered sage Dadhīca was performing austerities. Approaching him, the gods said, O blessed one, is your spiritual practice proceeding well and without obstacles? Dadhīca welcomed them and said, Welcome to you, what shall be done? I will do whatever you ask. They said to him, You ought to give up your body for the welfare of the world. Then Dadhīca, undisturbed, viewing happiness and sorrow with equanimity, and being a great yogi, absorbed his mind within himself and abandoned his body.
