Preached to
Pukkusāti, whom the Buddha
met at the house of Bhaggava the potter. It deals with the six elements of
earth, water, fire, air, space and consciousness.
Pukkusāti recognised the Buddha by his
preaching and, at the end of the sermon, wished to be ordained. The Buddha asked
him to fetch a bowl and robe. On his way to fetch these, Pukkusāti was killed by
a mad cow (M.iii.248ff).
This sutta forms the suttanta
counterpart of the Vibhanga.
