v1.c13.249

It is said that the discourses in the Itivuttaka are those which Khujjuttarā learned from the Buddha and later repeated to Sāmāvatī and her attendant women. Because these discourses were all preached at **Kosambī** and repeated there by her, there was no need to specify the place of their preaching; hence the formula “*Ekaṃ samayaṃ Bhagavā Kosambiyaṃ viharati*” is omitted, and instead is found “*vuttaṃ h’etaṃ Bhagavatā arahatā*”.⁴
