The Buddha was in the country of Śrāvastī. An upāsikā who observed the eight precepts was the former wife of a lay friend of Kālodayin; both were handsome in appearance and felt mutual attachment. When the time arrived, he went there and sat together with her in a secluded and covered place, speaking unlawful words. The mother of Viśākhā peeked and saw this transgression arise, and hurried to report it to the Buddha. Because of this, [the Buddha] rebuked him and formulated the precept.
