On another such occasion Sāriputta assembled the monks and preached to them the Dasuttara Sutta.⁶ It was on the banks of the Gaggarā that the Buddha preached the Karaṇḍava Sutta (q.v.) on the necessity of getting rid of evil-minded members of the Saṅgha lest they should corrupt the whole Order,⁷ and the pond-bank was also the scene of the preaching of the well-known Soṇadaṇḍa Sutta.⁸ Once, when the Buddha was at this spot with a large number of monks and lay-followers, Vaṅgīsa came up to him and praised him in a song, pointing out how the Buddha outshone them all.⁹
