The Aṅguttara Nikāya⁹ mentions several discourses preached to the Cetis, while the Buddha dwelt in their town of Sahajāti. While dwelling in the Pācīnavamsadāya in the Ceti country, Anuruddha became an arahant after a visit which the Buddha paid to him.¹⁰ The Janavasabha Sutta¹¹ leads us to infer that the Buddha visited the Ceti country several times. The Saṃyutta Nikāya¹² records a discussion on the four Ariyan Truths among a number of monks, including Gavampati, dwelling at Sahajāti (v.l. Sahañcanika). - [Previous: v1.c16.1129](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.1129) - [Next: v1.c16.1131](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.1131) - [Up: v1.c16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.1130](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c16.1130) · Pramāṇa
