The Buddha spent his ninth rainy season at Kosambī, and it was on his way there on this occasion that he made a détour to Kammāssadamma and was offered in marriage Māgandiyā, daughter of the brahmin Māgandiya. The circumstances are narrated in connection with the Māgandiya Sutta. Māgandiyā took the Buddha's refusal as an insult to herself, and, after her marriage to King Udena, tried in various ways to take revenge on the Buddha, and also on Udena's wife Sāmavatī, who had been the Buddha's follower.¹³
