[121] **"Many here in the world have prepared sacrifices (yaññamakappiṃsu puthūdha loke)":** "sacrifice" (yañña) is a term for the gift to be given (deyyadhamma): robes, almsfood, lodging, and medicinal requisites for the sick; food, drink, clothing, vehicles, garlands and scents, unguents, beds and dwellings, and lamps.
**"Have prepared sacrifices":** those who seek, search for, and pursue a sacrifice — robes, almsfood, lodging, and medicinal requisites for the sick; food, drink, clothing, vehicles, garlands and scents, unguents, beds and dwellings, and lamps — they too prepare a sacrifice. Those who make ready a sacrifice — robes, almsfood, lodging, and medicinal requisites for the sick; food, drink, clothing, vehicles, garlands and scents, unguents, beds and dwellings, and lamps — they too prepare a sacrifice. Those who give, offer, and relinquish a sacrifice — robes, almsfood, lodging, and medicinal requisites for the sick; food, drink, clothing, vehicles, garlands and scents, unguents, beds and dwellings, and lamps — they too prepare a sacrifice.
**"Many" (puthū):** either those sacrifices are many, or those sacrificers are many, or those worthy of offerings (dakkhiṇeyya) are many. How are those sacrifices many? Those sacrifices are many: robes, almsfood, lodging, and medicinal requisites for the sick; food, drink, clothing, vehicles, garlands and scents, unguents, beds and dwellings, and lamps. Thus those sacrifices are many. How are those sacrificers many? Those sacrificers are many: khattiyas and brahmins, vessas and suddas, householders and those gone forth, devas and human beings. Thus those sacrificers are many. How are those worthy of offerings many? Those worthy of offerings are many: ascetics and brahmins, beggars, wayfaring mendicants, and disciples. Thus those worthy of offerings are many. **"Here in the world":** in the world of human beings. Hence, "many here in the world have prepared sacrifices."
