Reliability undetermined

Later works of the Southern tradition also say that the Abhidhamma was taught during the of the seventh year after the Awakening; this is placed only in the appendix.

The false accusation against the Buddha by Ciñcā is placed among the “events known only to fall within a span of years”, in the early years after the Awakening.
