At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kosalans together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants when he arrived at a town of the Kosalans named Daṇḍakappaka.

Then a certain mendicant went up to Venerable Ānanda, and said to him,

“You’re right, reverend, that’s how the Buddha declared it.”

Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened.

Suppose there was a sewer deeper than a man’s height, full to the brim with feces,
