Elder Sāriputta taught on generosity and people decided to give alms; one man gave a robe, which they decided to give to Elder Devadatta; when the Buddha heard about it he related a Birth Story about Devadatta, who, as an elephant hunter, disguised himself as a Paccekabuddha in order to kill his prey, and then spoke some verses about him.
