13. The Sanskrit edition, the Chinese versions, and the Theravāda parallels are set in Śrāvastī. It seems that the Sanskrit fragment 8 (Wille 2008, p. 345) had the same setting as the Tibetan translation of this sūtra, since the few akṣaras left read tīre (“on the shore”). Wille identifies this pond as Gargā Pond, known also from many Pali suttas as Gaggarā Pond, but we could not confirm it in the lexical resources we consulted.
