    A dancer named Nata Puttaka once became a monk and attained the Arahantship. One day he and other monks saw another dancer in the streets, practicing his art. They asked Nata Puttaka if he still missed dancing. He replied that he did not. The Buddha then spoke this verse, confirming Nata Puttaka's Arahantship.
