1. Dāna Sutta.—Preached at Jetavana, regarding an offering founded by Veḷukaṇṭakī-Nandamātā to monks, with Sāriputta and Moggallāna at their head. Her offering, says the Buddha, is complete in six ways—three on the part of the giver and three on that of the recipients.

The recipients are either free from lust, hatred and delusion, or are on the way to such freedom. The merit obtained from such a gift is infinite.¹ 2. Dāna Sutta.—Sāriputta, with the lay disciples of Campā, visits the Buddha at the Gaggarāpokkharaṇi and asks him why the same offerings have, in one case, no reward, in another, great reward. The Buddha explains in detail.¹
