The Buddha says to himself that Sakka, for a long time past, has led a pure life, and gives him permission to question him on any subject. It is stated in the course of the sutta²⁵ that it was not the first time that Sakka had approached the Buddha for the same purpose. He had gone to him at the Saḷalaghara in Sāvatthi, but found him in meditation, with Bhuñjatī, wife of Vessavaṇa, waiting on him. He therefore left with a request to Bhuñjatī to greet the Buddha in his name. He also declares²⁶ that he has become a \*sotāpanna\* and has earned for himself the right to be reborn eventually in the Akaniṭṭhā-world, whence he will pass entirely away. - [Previous: v2.c36.109](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.109) - [Next: v2.c36.111](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.111) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.110](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.110) · Pramāṇa
