At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Vajjis near Ukkacelā on the bank of the Ganges River, together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants. It was not long after Sāriputta and Moggallāna had become fully quenched. Now, at that time the Buddha was sitting in the open, surrounded by the Saṅgha of mendicants.
