16: The Chapter about Love – 202<br />

The one who does what is necessary<br />

Fifty youths were going out of Rājagaha carrying baskets of<br />

cakes, but did not think to offer any to the Buddha and the<br />

monks, until they saw Ven. Mahākassapa, and then they<br />

offered him the cakes; the Buddha spoke this verse about Ven.<br />

Mahākassapa.<br />

217. Sīladassanasampannaṁ, dhammaṭṭhaṁ saccavedinaṁ,<br />

attano kamma’ kubbānaṁ, taṁ jano kurute piyaṁ.<br />

Endowed with virtue and insight,<br />

principled and knowing the truths,<br />

doing the deeds that are his own,<br />

that one the people truly love.
