<b> <c c="#a00149">Aṅguttarāpa</c> </b> <br>A country north of the river Mahī, evidently a part of Aṅga on the other side of that river .<br>It was here, in the village Āpaṇa, that the Buddha was staying when the Jaṭila Keṇiya came to see him; here also was preached the Sela Sutta. <c c="#3b6bd3">Snp.102f.</c> From Bhaddiya (in Aṅga) the Buddha went to Anguttārapa and thence to Āpaṇa. <c c="#3b6bd3">Vin.i.243–245</c> <br>The country was probably rich because we find as many as 1,250 monks accompanying the Buddha on his tour. <c c="#3b6bd3">Snp.102f.</c> <br>Other suttas preached here are the Potaliya <c c="#3b6bd3">MN.i.359</c> and the Laṭukikopama. <c c="#3b6bd3">MN.i.447</c> <br>Āpaṇa seems to have been the chief township, because it is always mentioned in connection with Aṅguttarāpa.<br> <br>Location: <iref href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/25.465594,87.132568">25.465594,87.132568</iref> (Precision: 1, Type: region)<br> </deftext>
