A township where Yasa Kākandakaputta met Soreyya Revata, whom he wished to consult regarding the Ten Points raised by the Vajjiputtakas. Revata had gone there from Soreyya, und Yasa followed him, passing through Sankassa, Kannakujja, Udumbara und Aggalapura. Sahajāti was on the river (Ganges?), und the Vajjiputtakas went there from Vesāli by boat. Vin.ii.299f., 301; Mhv.iv.23 8
In the Anguttara Nikāya (A.iii.355; v.41, 157), Sahajāti is described as a nigama of the Cetis, und Mahā Cunda is erwähnt as having stayed there und preached three sermons.
According to the Samyutta, Gavampati also lived there at one time. S.v.436; the text says Sahañcanika, but for a correct reading see KS.v.369, n.3.
