With the Nun Sukkā (2nd)

At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground.

Now at that time a certain lay follower gave food to the nun Sukkā.

Then a native spirit was so devoted to Sukkā that he went from street to street and from square to square, and on that occasion recited these verses:

“O! He has made so much merit!

That lay follower is so very wise.

He just gave food to Sukkā,

who is released from all ties.”
