After that, the Blessed One entered a river and bathed his body, staying by the river with only one garment. He dispelled Cunda's doubts. On one side of the middle bank of that river, he appeared to be sleeping, and Ananda stood beside him. After that, they went to another place, where there was a city of giants below, and above there was a grove like a garden, decorated with various trees, with very tall sal trees on both sides.
