With the Nun Cīrā

So I have heard.

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 a robe to the nun Cīrā.

Then a native spirit was so devoted to Cīrā 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 gave a robe to Cīrā,

who is released from all yokes.”
