The incident here referred to is related in several treatises. The Buddha was despairing of being able to teach his way of salvation, when Brahmā came down from Heaven and urged him to preach his religion among men.² According to the Pali accounts the visit of Brahmā to Buddha took place while the latter was staying at the Ajapāla tree.¹
