The story tells of one occasion, while dwelling at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to about 500 children and delivered a sermon of this jataka. One occasion, the Buddha and 500 monks were going to Rajagaha to collect alms. When they were in Rajagaha, there were 500 children carrying food to welcome the Buddha and monks with faithfulness. The Buddha preached to them. At the end of the sermon, they obtained sotāpana (stream-enterer).
