⁴ Prof. Rhys Davids adds: "It was at such a parliament, or palaver, that King Pasenadi's proposition [i.e. the request for a bride from the Sākiya clan] was discussed. When Ambattha goes to Kapilavastu on business, he goes to the Mote Hall, where the Sākiyas were then in session. And it is to the Mote Hall of the Mallas that Ānanda goes to announce the death of the Buddha." Buddhist India, p. 9.
