Gaṅgārohaṇasutta untranslated

Gaṅgārohaṇasutta. The Cūḷa Vaṁsa (Cv.xxxvii.191) mentions a Sutta by this name. The Commentaries on the Dhammapada (Dhp­a.iii.436ff) and the Khuddakapāṭha (Khp-a.162ff) contain accounts of the visit paid by the Buddha to Vesālī in order to drive out from there the fears of famine and pestilence, and they describe in great detail the celebrations which took place as the Buddha returned to Rājagaha along the Ganges. This journey is called Gaṅgārohaṇa.

The Sutta mentioned is probably, therefore, the Ratanasutta (q.v.) which the Buddha preached at Vesālī.
