Ahogaṅgā untranslated

Ahogaṅgā. A mountain in North India, on the Upper Ganges. There, for some time, lived the Thera Sambhūta Sāṇavāsi, and it was there that Yasa Kākaṇḍakaputta saw him. The meeting of Arahants to discuss what measures should be taken against the Vesālī monks was also held there, and at the meeting were present monks from the Western country and from Avanti Dakkhiṇāpatha (Vin.ii.298-9).

Moggaliputta lived in Ahogaṅgā all alone for seven years, prior to the Third Council for which he was awaiting the right time (Mhv.v.233; see also Vin. Texts, ii.146, n.1. The Mbv., p.106, says upari Gaṅgāya; see also Vin-a.i.57). The Mahā Vaṁsa describes it as being “further up the Ganges” (uddhaṁ Gaṅgāya).

Moggaliputtatissa came from Ahogaṅgā to Pāṭaliputta on a raft. Vin-a.i.57.
