8 - Sahassavaggo, Thousands
7 - Sariputtattherassa sahayaka brahmana Vatthu
Yamkinci yittham va hutam va loke, samvaccharam yajetha punnapekkho;
sabbampi tam na catubhagameti, abhivadana ujjugatesu seyyo.
108: In this world, one may make sacrificial offerings, great and small, all the year round, in order to gain merit; all these offerings are not worth a quarter of the merit gained by worshipping the Noble Ones (Ariyas) who walk the right path.
