Tevijja Sutta.—The thirteenth sutta of the Dīgha Nikāya, preached to Vāseṭṭha and Bhāradvāja who visited the Buddha at Manasākaṭa. The Buddha points out the futility of the belief that a mere knowledge of the Three Vedas leads to the attainment of reunion with Brahmā. Such union can, however, be attained only by the practice of the four Brahma-vihāras.¹
