The story was related in reference to the preaching of the **Mahāmaṅgala Sutta.** It happened that in **Rājagaha** there was a large assembly at the *Santhāgāra*, and a man rose and went out, saying, “ This is a day of good omen.” Some one, hearing this, inquired the meaning of “ good omen.” One said, “ The sight of a lucky thing is a good omen.” But this was denied, and then began the discussion on omens, which, in the end, was carried to **Sakka**, and referred by him to the Buddha.²
