Koá¹á¹hita Sutta
1. Koá¹á¹hita Sutta.- A conversation between MahÄ Koá¹á¹hita and SÄriputta as to whether or not anything exists after the passionless ending, without remainder, of the six spheres of contact (phassÄyata nÄnaṃ asesavirÄganirodhÄ). The conversation is repeated between MahÄ Koá¹á¹hita and Ä€nanda. A.ii.161f
2. Koá¹á¹hita Sutta.- MahÄ Koá¹á¹hita asks SÄriputta a series of questions as to why the holy life (brahmacariyÄ) is lived by the Blessed One, to all of which SÄriputta answers “No.†He then goes on to explain that the purpose of the holy life is the realisation of the Four Noble Truths. A.iv.382f.
3. Koá¹á¹hita Sutta.- Three suttas. MahÄ Koá¹á¹hita visits the Buddha and asks for a brief statement of the Dhamma. The Buddha answers that desire should be put away for that which is (1) impermanent, (2) Ill, (3) without a self. S.iv.145f.
4. Koá¹á¹hita Sutta.- Koá¹á¹hita visits SÄriputta at Isipatana and asks him which is true: to say that the eye is the bond of objects or that objects are the bond of the eye? SÄriputta replies that neither is true: the bond consists in the desire and lust arising from their contact. If two men be yoked one to the other, the bond consists not in either of the men but in the yoke-tie which binds them. If this were not so, the religious life would be purposeless. S.iv.162f
5. Koá¹á¹hita Sutta.- A group of three suttas containing conversations between MahÄ Koá¹á¹hita and SÄriputta on what constitutes ignorance. S.iii.175.
