The monks cry out that they believed them to be good lay people. Customs officials respond, using the theory developed by Āsamitta: ‘The monks have disappeared, you are other people, or thieves, or spies. And likewise, you will disappear, without our even being there for anything. thing. This is your theory’. Āsamitta and the monks agree on their mistake”.
