A fact from Moggaliputta-Tissa appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 September 2006. The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that Mauryan Emperor Ashoka had to stop the execution of his future spiritual adviser Moggaliputta-Tissa for touching his right hand? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/September.

King Ashoka's coronation was in 270 BCE. Moggaliputta is unlikely to have died in 247 BCE, and have led the council seven years later (circa 240 BCE). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adnanramin (talk • contribs) 07:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
