Gaṅgārohana Sutta

Sutta

《출라왐사》에 언급된 경전 이름으로, 기근과 역병을 물리치기 위해 웨살리에서 갠지스강을 따라 라자가하로 돌아간 붓다의 유명한 여정을 가리킨다. 그때 설해진 《보배경》을 지칭하는 것으로 추정된다.

The Cūḷavaṃsa (Cv.xxxvii.191) mentions a sutta by this name. The Commentaries on the Dhammapada (DhA.iii.436 ff) and the Khuddakapāṭha (KhpA.162 ff) contain accounts of the visit paid by the Buddha to Vesāli to drive out from there the fears of famine and pestilence, and they describe in great detail the celebrations that took place as the Buddha returned to Rājagaha along the Gaṅgā. This journey is called Gaṅgārohaṇa.

The Sutta mentioned is probably, therefore, the Ratana Sutta (q.v.), which the Buddha taught at Vesāli.
