1. Sakkanamassa Sutta.—The Buddha tells the monks of how Sakka once ordered Mātali to fetch his chariot that he might visit his gardens. The chariot was brought, and before entering it, Sakka clasped his hands and did obeisance to the several quarters. On being asked by Mātali as to whom he so honoured, Sakka answered that he worshipped all monks and laymen who led the virtuous life.¹
