The Buddha arrived at Khāṇumata when Kūṭadanta was making preparations for a great sacrifice and, wishing this sacrifice to be successful, he consulted the Buddha on the holding of sacrifices. The Buddha preached to him the Kūṭadanta Sutta. At the end of the discourse he became a Sotāpanna. <c c="#3b6bd3">DN.i.127ff.</c> <br> <br> </deftext>
