ABSTRACT
Once many important Licchavis were assembled in their town-hall and in various ways they praised the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. At that time Siha, their general-in-chief, a follower Qf the Nigantha sect, was sitting with them. And he thought : " Surely the Blessed One must be an Arahant Buddha, for these many important Licchavis assembled here in their town-hall in various ways praise the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. Suppose I go to visit him, the Arahant Buddha."
