Keṇiya then personally served various kinds of fine foods to the Sangha of monks headed by the Buddha. When the Buddha had finished his meal, Keṇiya sat down to one side, and the Buddha expressed his appreciation with these verses: “Sacrifice is the best fire worship, Sāvittī the best meter; A king is the best of humans, The ocean the chief of rivers. The moon is the best in the night sky, The sun the best of all that shines. But for those making offerings, desiring merit, The Sangha is indeed the best.”
