Sahajāti untranslated

Sahajāti, Sahajātā. A township where Yasa Kākaṇḍakaputta met Soreyya Revata, whom he wished to consult regarding the Ten Points raised by the Vajjiputtakas. Revata had gone there from Soreyya, and Yasa followed him, passing through Saṅkassa, Kaṇṇakujja, Udumbara and Aggaḷapura. Sahajāti was on the river (Ganges?), and the Vajjiputtakas went there from Vesālī by boat. Vin.ii.299f., 301; Mhv.iv.23-8.

In the Aṅguttaranikāya, Sahajāti is described as a nigama of the Cetis, and Mahā Cunda is mentioned as having stayed there and preached three sermons (AN.iii.355; v.41, 157).

According to the Saṁyutta, Gavampati also lived there at one time. SN.v.436; the text says Sahañcanika, but for a correct reading see KS.v.369, n.3.
