### [v2.c35.219](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c35.219)

In the time of the Buddha, and even up to his death, the Vajjians were a very prosperous and happy community. The Buddha attributed this to the fact that they practised the seven conditions of welfare taught to them by himself in the Sārandada-cetiya.⁴ But soon after the Buddha’s death,⁵ Ajātasattu, with the help of his minister Vassakāra (\*q.v.\*), sowed dissension among the Vajjians and conquered their territory.
