There he preached the Dīghanakha (or Vedanāpariggaha) Sutta to Dīghanakha. Sāriputta was also present, and the sutta led to his attainment of arahantship.¹ A conversation which the Buddha had there with Sāriputta is recorded in the Saṃyutta Nikāya.² The Commentary says³ that, in the time of Kassapa Buddha, this cave was found as a hollow in the ground when the earth was yet growing, during the interval between the two Buddhas. One day a boar dug up the soil in the neighbourhood of the ground which concealed the cave. The sky-god sent rain which washed away the soil, and the cave was disclosed. - [Previous: v2.c36.4792](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4792) - [Next: v2.c36.4794](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4794) - [Up: v2.c36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4793](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c36.4793) · Pramāṇa
