36. Tissa.—A monk resident in Loṇagiri (Lenagiri). He once saw fifty monks, on their way to Nāgadīpa on a pilgrimage, returning from their alms-rounds in Mahākhiragāma, with their bowls empty. Asking them to wait, he returned in a little while with his bowl of milk rice which proved more than enough for the whole company. Seeing their astonishment, he explained that since he had begun to practise the *sārāṇīya-dhammā*, his bowl had never lacked food.
