Note

After the seven weeks of meditation and fasting that followed the Enlightenment, a trade caravan became stuck in the vicinity of the Buddha. While strong men try to make the bullocks move, the two merchants Trapuṣa and Bhallika were told by a deity/genius about the Buddha and decide to pay him a visit and bring offerings, thus becoming the first lay followers of the Buddha.
