There was a great thicket close to this river where the Bodhisatta once spent the daytime (Dh. Commy., I, 86; cf. Mahābodhi V., p. 29). The Bodhisatta was met by five monks who became his disciples, while he was staying on its bank (Majjhima, I, 170; Ibid., II, 94; Saṃ., III, 66; Vinaya Texts, S.B.E., I, p. 90). Māra was bold enough to tempt him on its bank, but all his attempts were baffled (Saṃyutta, I, 103ff.; Ibid., I, 122ff.; Suttanipāta, P.T.S., p. 74, V. 425; Niddesa, I, p. 455; Jinacarita, vs. 239–245; Lalitavistara, Ch. 21; Mahāvastu, II, 315; Divyāvadāna, p. 202; Rockhill, The Life of the Buddha, p. 31).
