Soṇuttara thought to himself: “Having received only so little as those friendly words, these monks say that they received something. So what will they not say when they get some food? ” He then gave the monk the food that had been prepared for himself and told him that from then on he would obtain alms food every day.

The Brahman thought to himself: ‘If these men, at the mere experience of a little courtesy, acknowledge in a public place, and with thanks, that they have received an alms, what will they not do if they really receive a gift!’ And he was much struck by this, and had an alms bestowed upon the Elder from the rice and curry prepared for his own use, and added furthermore: ‘Every day you shall receive here food of the same kind.’

Брахман подумал: «Ему всего-то любезно ответили, а он уже благодарит на людях! Как же он станет благодарить, когда ему подадут поесть – риса ли, каши ли!» Это ему понравилось. Он велел дать монаху ложку приготовленного для него самого риса с приправой и сказал: «Столько вам здесь всегда подадут».
