Purity

1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.

2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there:

3. “Monks, I will tell you about the gods of the company of musicians, listen carefully to it.

4. “Monks, who are the gods of the company of musicians?

There are gods living in the scent of roots, in the scent of essences, in the scent of surrounding odors, in the scent of the bark, in the scent of shoots, in the scent of leaves, in the scent of flowers, in the scent of fruits, in the scent of tastes and in the scent of incenses.

5. “Monks, these are the gods of the company of mucisians.”
