Preached at the Migāramātupāsāda on a full moon night. A monk asks the Buddha a series of questions regarding the fünf upādānakkhandhā, their origin, their definition, und also as to how notions of self come about (sakkāyaditthi). The Buddha answers him, und shows how deliverance can be attained by realization that there is no self in any khandha.
It is said that sixty monks, who heard the sutta, became arahants. M.iii.15-20.
