Gaṅgārohana Sutta

Sutta

《Cūḷavaṃsa》提到的一部經名,指佛陀為消除毗舍離饑荒瘟疫、沿恆河返回王舍城途中所行的著名旅程,此經很可能就是當時所說的《寶經》。

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.
