Cunda lived in Pāvā and invited the Buddha to a meal, which proved to be his last.¹ From Pāvā the Buddha journeyed on to Kusinārā, crossing the Kakkuṭṭhā on the way.² According to the Saṅgīti Sutta,³ at the time the Buddha was staying at Pāvā, the Mallas had just completed their new Mote-hall, Ubbhaṭaka, and, at their invitation, the Buddha consecrated it by first occupying it and then preaching in it. After the Buddha had finished speaking, Sāriputta recited the Saṅgīti Sutta to the assembled monks.
