Comm. NT: 24. The story of the oil-seller is given in the Sammohavinodanī (Vibh-a 483), which reproduces this part of Vism with some additions: “Two bhikkhus, it seems, went into a village and sat down in the sitting hall. Seeing a girl, they called her. Then one asked the other, ‘Whose girl is this, venerable sir?’—‘She is the daughter of our supporter the oil- seller, friend. When we go to her mother’s house and she gives us ghee, she gives it in the pot. And this girl too gives it in the pot as her mother does.’” Quoted at Vism-mhṭ 46.
