sn7.21:1.1 At Sāvatthī.
sn7.21:1.2 Now at that time there was a brahmin named Saṅgārava staying in Sāvatthī. He practiced purification by water, believing in purification by water. He lived committed to the practice of immersing himself in water at daybreak and dusk.
sn7.21:1.3 Then Venerable Ānanda robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms.
sn7.21:1.4 He wandered for alms in Sāvatthī. After the meal, on his return from almsround, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,
sn7.21:1.5 “Sir, there is a brahmin named Saṅgārava staying in Sāvatthī. He practices purification by water, believing in purification by water. He lives devoted to ritual bathing at daybreak and dusk.
sn7.21:1.6 Please visit him at his home out of sympathy.”
sn7.21:1.7 The Buddha consented with silence.
