The True Sacrifice

There was a famous Brahmana, Gayaghosha by name, who was born in a Brahmanical family, but who was pledged to the performing of the yamas.
This great sage, who subdued all his senses, and who walked on the right road, came, on his wandering from village to village, to the town of Benares.
There outside of Benares he took up his lodgings in a pleasant park; there he took up his abode in a pure place to live and sleep in.
At the same time a Brahmana, versed in the Vedas, Vigayaghosha by name, offered a sacrifice in that town.
Now this houseless (monk) at the end of a fast of a month's duration, went to the sacrifice of Vigayaghosha to beg alms.
The priest wanted to turn the approaching monk off: 'I shall not give you alms, mendicant, beg somewhere else.
