v1.c7.378

⁸⁷ He had been occupied in consoling the laity after the Buddha’s death and had had no time for practising meditation. In the end it was a devatā in the woodland grove in Kosala, where he was staying, who pointed out the urgency of the matter (S. i. 199-200); but see ThagA. i. 237, where the credit for this is given to a Vajjiputta thera.
