The Sengqi lü says that because the mother of Nanda offered gruel to the Saṃgha, the Buddha spoke a verse: / 'Pure in keeping the precepts, revered and respected by others, / offering gruel according to the season brings ten benefits to practitioners: / appearance, strength, longevity, joy, clear speech, eloquence, / digestion of old food, dispelling of wind humours, and quenching of hunger and thirst. / This is called good medicine, spoken by the Buddha; / wishing that humans and devas long receive joy, / one should offer gruel to the Saṃgha.' / (Now analyzing the ten benefits: First, appearance. Second, strength. Third, longevity. Fourth, joy. Fifth, clear speech—the Kośa says: Speech refers to explanatory words. Sixth, eloquence—the Kośa says: Eloquence refers to successive words without impediment. Seventh, digestion of old food. Eighth, dispelling of wind humours. Ninth, quenching of hunger. Tenth, quenching of thirst).
