[231] On one occasion a number of elder bhikkhus were dwelling at Bārāṇasī, in the Deer Park at Isipatana. Then in the evening, the Venerable Channa, having emerged from seclusion, took a key and, going from dwelling to dwelling, said to the elder bhikkhus: "May the venerable elders exhort me; may the venerable elders instruct me; may the venerable elders give me a talk on the Dhamma, in such a way that I might see the Dhamma."
