Madhurā Sutta

Sutta

Bài kinh liệt kê năm điều bất lợi của thành Madhurā, với phần Chú giải giải thích rằng có lần Đức Phật đã quay lại không vào thành sau khi gặp một nữ thần khỏa thân chặn đường

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.
