220(10)Madhurā
"Bhikkhus,there are these five dangers in Madhurā.
The capital of the state of Surasena,situated on the Yamuna River in northern India.It later became an important center for the Mulasarvastivadins.Though the text makes the Buddha say he did not like the place,one wonders whether this sutta might be an interpolation inserted by the Vibhajjavadins to denigrate the headquarters of their rival Buddhist school.
What five?
It is uneven;it is dusty;its dogs are fierce;it has wildspirits;and it is difficult to gain almsfood there.These are thefive dangers in Madhurā."[257]
