1At Baraṇasi in the Deer Park at Isipatana. Sitting to one side, the Venerable Mahakoṭṭhita said to the Venerable Sāriputta: "Friend Sāriputta, it is said, ‘true knowledge, true knowledge.’ What now, friend, is true knowledge, and in what way has one arrived at true knowledge?"

The rest of this sutta is identical with the exchange on true knowledge in §126.
