### [v2.c31.1876](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.1876)

The Sutta is so called because it was preached in contradiction of a wrong answer given by Māluṅkyāputta to a question of the Buddha. The Buddha pointed out his error, and Ānanda requested the Buddha to give the correct answer.
