Tribes in Ancient India c10.56

c10.56

In the *Aṅguttara Nikāya*,¹ we read that on several occasions Mahācunda, an eminent disciple of the Buddha, dwelt in the town of Sahajāti among the Cedis. The same Nikāya ² further tells us that Anuruddha (first cousin and disciple of the Buddha) dwelt among the Cedis in the Deer-Park of Pācīnavamsa. In the *Dīgha Nikāya*,³ we read that the Buddha went to the Cedis and other tribes while out preaching; while the *Saṃyutta Nikāya* ⁴ informs us that many theras were dwelling among the Cedis in the Sahañcanika.
