Outside the east gate of the Jetavana, at a distance of seventy paces to the north, on the west of the road, Buddha held a discussion with the (advocates of the) ninety-six schemes of erroneous doctrine, when the king and his great officers, the householders, and people were all assembled in crowds to hear it.

Then a woman belonging to one of the erroneous systems, by name Chanchamana,( 15) prompted by the envious hatred in her heart, and having put on (extra) clothes in front of her person, so as to give her the appearance of being with child, falsely accused Buddha before all the assembly of having acted unlawfully (towards her).

On this, Sakra, Ruler of Devas, changed himself and some devas into white mice, which bit through the strings about her waist; and when this was done, the (extra) clothes which she wore dropt down on the ground.

The earth at the same time was rent, and she went (down) alive into hell.( 16) (This) also is the place where Devadatta,( 17) trying with empoisoned claws to injure Buddha, went down alive into hell.

Men subsequently set up marks to distinguish where both these events took place.
Further, at the place where the discussion took place, they reared a vihara rather more than sixty cubits high, having in it an image of Buddha in a sitting posture.
