Mingun Sayadaw who had a thorough understanding of the thousands and thousands of Buddhist teachings (suttas).

Part 3 - The Week on the Walk (Cankama Sattāha)

On the third week, the Buddha spent seven days walking up and down on the jewel walk, created by devas and Brahmās and stretching from east to west between the Aparājita Throne and the Cetīya of the Gaze, while at the same time He was reflecting on the Dhamma and getting absorbed in phala-samāpatti, meditating on the Fruition Attainment. That place is called Ratana-cankama Cetīya.
