**Saṅkha Sutta.**—The Buddha, at the Pāvārika-ambavana, has a discussion with Asibandhakaputta regarding the teachings of Nigaṇṭha-Nātaputta and proves to him that Nigaṇṭha’s teachings are contradictory and misleading as compared with his own. The Ariyan disciple, by following the Buddha’s teaching, cultivates kindliness, compassion and equanimity and suffuses the four quarters with these qualities, as easily as a powerful conchblower fills the four quarters with sound.¹
