1. \*\*Upāli Sutta.\*\*—Records the events that lead to the conversation of Upāli-Gahapati (\*q.v.\*). The Buddha is asked, first by Dīgha-Tapassī and then by Upāli, as to which of the three kinds of deeds—of body, speech and mind—are the most criminal. Those of mind, says the Buddha; those of body, say the followers of Nātaputta. By various illustrations the Buddha convinces Upāli that his contentions are wrong. The sutta concludes with a series of verses (the Upāli Gāthā) in which Upāli sings the Buddha’s praises.¹
