Subsequent to rehearsing self-humiliation for a long time at Urubela (Buddhagaya) in Gaya, he surrendered that training since it didn't give him Vimukthi.

In the fatigue and mental trance to which they lead, one can no longer comprehend the customary things of life, still less reality that lies past the faculties. I have surrendered boundaries of either extravagance or plainness. I have found the Middle Way". This is the way which is neither simple (a rich sovereign) nor hard (living in stark conditions rehearsing discipline). Hearing this, the five religious zealots turned into the Buddha's first educates in Deer Park, Sarnath, 13 km n.e. of Benares.
