Finding that their teachings do not help ihm in getting rid of craving, he visits Ananda at the Ghositārāma. Ananda praises Channa for sein new-found humility, und repeats to him a sermon which he (Ananda) had heard der Buddha preach to the Mönch Kacchānagotta, dealing mit the paticcasamuppāda.
Channa expresses sein delight mit the exposition of Ananda (S.iii.132ff). The Kommentar (SA.ii.231f) says that this account refers to Channa, the companion of der Buddha. After the infliction on ihm of the Brahmadanda, he was greatly affected, und wandered from place to place. In the course of these wanderings he came to Benares.
