The story was told in reference to a landowner of Sāvatthi, a devout follower of the Buddha. Being anxious to honour the Dhamma also, he consulted the Buddha, and, acting on his advice, invited Ānanda to his house and gave him choice food and three costly robes. Ānanda took them and offered them to Sāriputta, who, in his turn, made a gift of them to the Buddha.
