Pahārāda Sutta.—Preached at the Naḷerupucimandamūla in Verañjā where Pahārāda (*q.v.*) visited the Buddha. In answer to a question, Pahārāda tells the Buddha that there are eight wonderful characteristics of the ocean, on account of which Asuras delight in it. The Buddha tells him of eight similar qualities in his own teaching and discipline, wherefore monks find joy in them.¹
