At that time, in that period, there was a city named Sāvatthī—[to be described as before]. There was a caitya named Koṭṭhaya—[to be described as before]. There in the city of Sāvatthī lived many lay followers headed by Saṅkha—wealthy up to not overwhelmed by many people, understanding the animate and the inanimate up to purifying themselves through adopted austerities. That lay follower Saṅkha had a wife named Uppalā—with delicate hands and feet up to beautiful, a lay woman follower who understood the animate and the inanimate up to who lived purifying herself through adopted austerities. There in the city of Sāvatthī lived a lay follower named Pokkhalī—wealthy, understanding the animate and the inanimate up to purifying himself through adopted austerities.
At that time, in that period, the Lord arrived. The assembly [came out] up to paid homage. Then those lay followers, having received this news, just as in Ālabhiyā, up to paid homage. Then the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, expounded the Dharma to those lay followers and to that great assembly, up to the assembly departed.
Then those lay followers, having heard and grasped the Dharma before the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, glad and delighted, paid obeisance and reverence to the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra. Having paid obeisance and reverence, they asked questions; having asked, they received the explanations; having received [them], they arose from their seats; having arisen, they departed from the presence of the Śramaṇa, the Lord Mahāvīra, from the Koṭṭhaya caitya; having departed, they set out to go toward the city of Sāvatthī.
