1. Māgandiya Sutta.—The conversation between Māgandiya and the Buddha after the former had offered the Buddha his daughter in marriage. Māgandiya expresses the view that purity comes from philosophy, from disputations and discussions, learning and austerities. The Buddha denies this, and says that purity comes from inward peace. The sage (*muni*) is a confessor of peace and does not indulge in disputes.¹
