With our present knowledge it is impossible to evolve any kind of chronology for the remaining twenty-five years of the Buddha’s life. The Commentaries state⁵¹ that they were spent at Sāvatthi in the monasteries of Jetavana and Pubbārāma. This, probably, only implies that the Retreats were kept there and that they were made the headquarters of the Buddha. From there, during the dry season, he went every year on tour in various districts.
