1. Dána Sutta.-Preached at Jetavana, regarding an offering founded by Velukantakí-Nandamátá to monks, with Sáriputta and Moggallána at their head. Her offering, says the Buddha, is complete in six ways - three on the part of the giver and three on that of the recipients. The giver is glad at heart before making the gift, is satisfied while giving, and rejoices after the gift. The recipients are either free from lust, hatred and delusion, or are on the way to such freedom. The merit obtained from such a gift is infinite. A.iii.336f.


2. Dána Sutta.-Sáriputta, with the lay disciples of Campá, visits the Buddha at the Gaggarápokkharani and asks him why the same offerings have, in one case, no reward, in another, great reward. The Buddha explains in detail. A.iv.59ff.
