suppiya

Updated: May 18, 2025

For collecting the suttas they relied on the testimony of Ânanda and asked him where the Brahmajâla was spoken. He replied "between Râjagaha and Nâlanda at the royal rest-house at Ambalatthika." "Concerning whom was it spoken?" "Suppiya, the wandering ascetic and Brahmadatta the young Brahman."
