The Buddha visits Sakuladayi at the Moranivapa near Rajagaha and their talk turns on perfection. The Buddha points out that Sakuladayis conception of perfection is vague and undefined, and proves, on examination, empty and faulty. In answer to Sakuladayis question as to what the Buddha would define as absolute bliss, the Buddha explains the four Jhanas and the destruction of the Asavas. Sakuladayi is converted (M.ii.29ff). The sutta also contains references to the teachings of Nigantha Nataputta.
