They provide Uruvela-Kassapa with offerings for his great sacrifice.¹¹ It was their custom to offer an annual sacrifice to Mahā-Brahmā in the hope of gaining reward a hundred thousand fold. On one occasion Sakka appears in person and goes with them to the Buddha so that they may not waste their energies in futile sacrifices.¹² - [Previous: v1.c6.286](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.286) - [Next: v1.c6.288](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.288) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.287](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.287) · Pramāṇa
