### [v1.c9.385](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c9.385)

Several instances are given of the Buddha having gone to Uttarakuru for alms. Having obtained his food there, he would go to the Anotatta lake, bathe in its waters and, after the meal, spend the afternoon on its banks.¹¹ The power of going to Uttarakuru for alms is not restricted to the Buddha; Pacceka Buddhas and various ascetics are mentioned as having visited Uttarakuru on their begging rounds.¹² It is considered a mark of great iddhi-power to be able to do this.¹³
