Kalahavivādasutta untranslated

Kalahavivādasutta. One of the six Suttas preached at the Mahā Samaya held in the Mahā Vana near Kapilavatthu. It deals with the origin of contentions and disputes. Disputes arise about objects which one holds dear; such affection is the result of desire, etc. It forms the eleventh Sutta of the Aṭṭhakavagga of the Suttanipāta (Sn.vv.862ff; Snp-a.361, 551ff).

It is said that the discourse was specially meant for those in the Assembly, whose temperament was malicious (dosacaritānaṁ) (MNid-a.222).

We are told that Mahā Pajāpatī heard the Sutta and renounced the world. Thīg­a.3, 141.

Probably the Attadaṇḍasutta was also called by this name. See AN­a.i.186, where the story of the 500 Sākiyan youths is given. In other accounts the Sutta which led to their joining the Saṅgha is called Attadaṇḍa. See Rohiṇī (3).
