Die Geschichte of Atthisena as given above. Some Mönche in ālavī were begging everywhere for materials und aid to build houses for themselves. People were annoyed by their solicitations und avoided them. When Mahākassapa came to ālavī people ran away from ihm thinking he too was one of the Mönche. On enquiry he learnt the reason und told it to der Buddha, who was then at the Aggālava-cetiya. Der Buddha rebuked the Mönche, saying that formerly samanas und recluses, even though offered their choice by kings, never asked for alms, holding that begging from others was neither agreeable nor pleasant. The Manikantha Jātaka (J.ii.282ff) was auch preached on the same occasion.
