5.13
But as soon as he sensed
that the mind of the One Gone Well had gone elsewhere,
And was not on him, Nanda backtracked;
Wanting to go home even with the bowl in his hands,
He sidled away from the path --
while keeping his eye on the Sage.
EH Johnston:
But Nanda turned away, suddenly conscious that the Blessed One was attentive to something else and not interested in him, and stepped from the road to go home, though he had the bowl in his hand, keeping his eye on the Sage.
Linda Covill:
Yet at that moment Nanda realized that the Sugata had his mind on other things and was not concentrating on him, so with his head turned to keep his eye on the sage he moved away from the road, intending to go home, though he still had the bowl in his hands.
