Flowering charoli tree in Maharashtra, India

... that the Buddha is said to have sat under a charoli tree (pictured) at Bodh Gaya for seven days without eating, drinking, washing, excreting, or lying down? Source: "...the Buddha moved from that place to Rājāyatana tree (Buchanania latifolia) to the south of the Mahābodhi tree and sat at the foot of that tree enjoying the bliss of arahantship for seven days. (In this way, Sattasattāha or 7x7 days = 49 days had been completed. During these forty-nine days, the Buddha did not do any of the followings: rinsing the mouth, washing the face, cleansing the body (discharging the body); bathing, taking meal, drinking water, or lying down...." from: Sayadaw, Mingun (2008).

ALT 2 Hook suggested : ... that the Buddha sat under a charoli tree (pictured) at Bodh Gaya for seven days at successive locations without eating, drinking, washing, excreting, or lying down?

Thanks for your review Nvvchar, and welcome back to Wikipedia; we all missed your contributions! With respect to the hook: the Buddha actually sat for seven days at seven successive locations (for a total of 49 days) without eating, drinking, washing, excreting, or lying down. For only the last seven days of this period was he sitting under the charoli tree. 49 days is certainly more extraoaordinary than 7, but I couldn't find a way to work that into the hook.DiverDave (talk) 22:47, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

QPQ: is Pending

Final tick will be given after QPQ is done.11:42, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Nvvchar.

Shouldn't we say that the Buddha is "said to have" sat under a charoli tree at Bodh Gaya for seven days without eating, drinking, washing, excreting, or lying down? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- DiverDave may consider the above suggestion after which I will give the approval tick as QPQ has been done now,Nvvchar. 02:43, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
  - @ Nvvchar and Metropolitan90: it is vital to distinguish historical fact from legend, and I apologize for this oversight. I have changed the hook in accordance with this suggestion.DiverDave (talk) 01:59, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
