Madhurā Sutta

Sutta

마두라 시의 다섯 가지 결점을 열거하는 경으로, 주석서는 부처님이 한번은 벌거벗은 여자 정령과 마주친 후 그 도시에 들어가기를 그만두고 돌아섰다고 설명한다

On the five disadvantages of Madhurā:

the ground is uneven,

there is much dust,

there are fierce dogs,

bestial yakkhas, and

alms are obtained with difficulty (A.iii.256).

The Commentary explains (AA.ii.646) that the Buddha, during a tour, once entered Madhurā, and was on his way to the inner city. However, a certain heretic yakkhiṇī stood before him naked, stretching out her arms, her tongue out. The Buddha thereupon turned back and went to the vihāra, where the people entertained him and the monks.
