Would anyone know the precise references for the following two statements?
1: "When Brahmins said that they could wash away their sins by bathing in sacred rivers, the Buddha joked that the water might wash away their good deeds also."
2: "There were so many arahants flying through the sky around Cittalapabbata monastery in the Roha.na kingdom that the farmers' crops
did not grow well due to lack of sunlight.''
I was told that 1 is from the Jaataka- commentary and that 2 might be from the Mahaava.msa subcommentary.
I need them for a book that I am editing.
