Preached to the monks at the
Gotamakacetiya. The Buddha declares that his proclamation of a Dhamma is with
full comprehension, with casual connection (sanidānam), and accompanied by
wonders. His instructions are with reason (A.i.276f).
It is said that at this pronouncement
the thousand fold universe trembled (Also DA.i.130; J. ii.259).
The Majjhima Commentary (i.49) states that the Sutta
was preached to the monks mentioned in the Mūlapariyāya Sutta, and that, at the
end, they became arahants.
