The Buddha related this story at the Aggāḷava-cetiya near Āḷavi. The monks of Āḷavi became so importunate with their requests for building materials from the householders that at the mere sight of a monk the householders would hurry indoors. Mahā Kassapa discovered this and reported it to the Buddha, who admonished the monks against begging for things from other people.¹
