1. The Brahmins and Householders of Khāṇumata
1.1
So I have heard.
1.2
At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Magadhans together with a large Saṅgha of five hundred mendicants when he arrived at a village of the Magadhan brahmins named Khāṇumata.
1.3
There he stayed nearby at Ambalaṭṭhikā.
1.4
Now at that time the brahmin Kūṭadanta was living in Khāṇumata. It was a crown property given by King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha, teeming with living creatures, full of hay, wood, water, and grain, a royal park endowed to a brahmin.
1.5
Now at that time Kūṭadanta had prepared a great sacrifice.
1.6
Bulls, bullocks, heifers, goats and rams—seven hundred of each—had been led to the post for the sacrifice.
