³ *Lal. Vis.*, p 406. In the *Mahāvastu* (III, pp. 324-329), the tradition is as follows: Leaving Uruvilva, he passed through Gayā, Aparagayā and reached Vāśālā where he was invited to a meal by a *bahuṅka* Brāhmaṇa to whom he pointed out as to what makes a true Brāhmaṇa and tried to convert him to Buddhism. Thence he passed through Cundadvilam and Sārathipura, crossed the Ganges and reached Benares.
