2. **Sāmagāma Sutta.**—The Buddha was once staying near the lotus pond at Sāmagāma and late at night is visited by a deva. After saluting the Buddha, he states that there are three things which lead to a monk’s failure: delight in worldly activity, delight in talk, and delight in sleep. So saying, he departs. The next day the Buddha relates to the monks the Deva’s statement and adds three other things which lead to failure: delight in company, evil speaking, and friendship with bad men.¹
