He lived in the heap of sand which was made by Aggidatta (\*q.v.\*) and his followers, who had made a vow to bring from somewhere a jar of sand and empty it at an agreed spot whenever a sinful thought occurred to them. When Moggallāna visited Aggidatta and asked him for a lodging, Aggidatta refused to give him one, but Moggallāna, in spite of his protests, occupied the sandhill. Moggallāna overcame the power of the Nāga king by his iddhi-power, and when Aggidatta and his followers visited him the next morning, they found Ahicchatta standing with his hood over Moggallāna’s head as protection for him from the sun.¹ - [Previous: v1.c6.3689](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3689) - [Next: v1.c6.3691](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3691) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3690](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.3690) · Pramāṇa
