v1.c23.957

1. **Devadaha Sutta.**—Preached to the monks at Lumbinīvana,¹ in Devadaha. It deals with the teaching of the Nigaṇṭhas, that whatsoever the individual experience, it comes from former actions. The sutta also gives ten beliefs of the Nigaṇṭhas, which, the Buddha says, are to be condemned. In contrast to these, ten statements are made respecting the Tathāgata, which are intrinsically true.²
