### [v2.c31.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c31.2)

The story was related in reference to Sariputta. Some monks of Jetavana, having taken oil as a purgative, wished for some dainty food. They sent their attendants to beg in the cooks' quarters, but these had to come back empty-handed. Sāriputta met them, and, having heard their story, returned with them to the same street; the people gave him a full measure of dainty fare, which was distributed among the sick monks. Sāriputta is identified with the hunter of the story.¹
