v2.c36.3960
The Buddha, seated in Jetavana, forty-five leagues away, saw what was happening and smiled. On being asked by Ānanda why he smiled, he said: “A battle royal is being waged between Sundarasamudda and a courtezan, but Samudda will win.” So saying, he sent forth a ray of light to Samudda and preached to him. At the end of the sermon Samudda became an arahant.
