3. Upaṭṭhāna Sutta.—On five qualities requisite for an attendant on the sick.¹ 4. Upatthāna Sutta.—Record of a conversation between a deva and a monk who dwelt in a forest tract in Kosala. During his siesta the monk would often fall asleep, and the deva, wishing his welfare and desiring to agitate him, draws near and asks him not to give himself up to somnolent habits. The monk replies to the effect that once a man has obtained insight by the suppression of desire and lust, there is no need to plague himself with unnecessary exertions.¹
