Dīgha3

Person

Un brahmane qui, incapable de satisfaire ses pairs par des aumônes somptueuses, mit à l’épreuve un groupe de moines en ne leur servant qu’un seul récipient de riz, et fut impressionné par leur modération.

A brahmin. He found he could not satisfy other brahmins, even though he gave five bowls of food to each. One day he went to the vihāra, and, in order to test the monks, served them with only one vessel of rice. Thirty monks partook of it and Dīgha was pleased with their great moderation. AA.i.262 f.
