1On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling among the Vajjians at Hatthigama. Then the householder Ugga of Hatthigama approached the Blessed One … and said to him….[n.114] At AN I 26,12 he is declared the foremost of those who attend on the Saṅgha (etadaggaṁ saṅgh’ upādāyakānaṃ); see too AN IV 212–16.

As in §118. sn.iv.110

1Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vajjīsu vihārati hatthigāme. Atha kho uggo gahapati hatthigāmako yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho uggo gahapati hatthigāmako bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: "ko nu kho, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena midhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti? Ko pana, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena midhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī"ti? (Yathā purimasuttantaṁ, evaṁ vitthāretabbaṁ.) "Ayaṁ kho, gahapati, hetu ayaṁ paccayo yena midhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī"ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
