A spirit was full of faith in the nun Cirā, so he went about the towns and villages singing the benefits of giving her offerings.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 street to street and 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 bonds.”
