The books also contain the names of others who stayed at the Kūṭāgārasālā when the Buddha was in residence—e.g., Ānanda, who was visited there by the Licchavis Abhaya and Paṇḍitakumāra²⁹; Anuruddha, who lived there in a forest hut³⁰; Nāgita, the Buddha’s former attendant, and Nāgita’s nephew the novice Sīha³¹; also Cāla, Upacāla, Kakkaṭa, Kalimbha, Nikaṭa, and Kaṭissaha, all of whom left the Kūṭāgārasālā and retired to the Gosiṅgasālavana, when the visits of the Licchavis to the Buddha became disturbing to their solitude.³²
