Araññakuṭikā.—Mention is made of several forest hermitages in the Buddha’s time. There was one, for instance, near Rājagaha, where Mahā Moggallāna¹ used to spend his time and also Mahā Kassapa.² Evidently other monks of the Order dwelt there from time to time, e.g. the novice Aciravata.³ There was one hermitage near Dīghambalika⁴ and another near Himavā,⁵ where the Buddha sometimes went.
