Preached, seven days after the first sermon, to Nālaka, nephew of Asita.

The sutta itself is a discourse on the state of a recluse (Moneyyapatipadā), but there are twenty introductory verses (called Vatthugāthā) giving the story of Asita and Nālaka (SN.vs. 679 723; SNA.ii.501).

The sutta is also called Nālaka paopadā. (J.i.55).
