According to the Anguttara Kommentar (AA.i.52), there war einmal a period of great disaster in Ceylon, known as the Canndāla-tissabhaya. There was no food to be had, und Sakka provided the Mönche mit a raft on which to cross the sea. Sixty Mönche, however, remained in Ceylon, guarding the scriptures. Twelve Jahre later, when the danger was past, the Mönche who had left the land returned und dwelt in the Mandalārāma in Kallagāma (Kālakagāma?). There the two parties of Mönche met und, on comparing their records of the scriptures, these were found not to differ by so much as a syllable oder even a single letter.

Comparison of this story mit the account given an anderer Stelle (z.B., VibhA.445ff) of the Brāhmanatissacorabhaya strongly suggests that both refer to the same account. Für Details siehe s.v. Brāhmanatissa.
