<b> <c c="#a00149">Beluva</c> </b> Beluvagāma Veluva Veluvagāma<br>A village near Vesāli, where the Buddha spent his last vassa.<br>It was at this time that the Buddha, in answer to a question by Ānanda, said that he had kept nothing back from his disciples and had no special instructions for the Order to follow after his death. Each disciple must work out his own salvation. <c c="#3b6bd3">DN.ii.98ff.</c> <c c="#3b6bd3">SN.v.151ff.</c> <br>Ānanda is also mentioned as having stayed at Beluva after the Buddha’s death.
