Citta the householder invites some mendicants to his home for a meal. He asks them what is the cause of the ten metaphysical questions and the 62 views of the Brahmajāla Sutta, but only the junior monk, Isidatta, is able to answer. Citta realizes that Isidatta is in fact an unseen friend of his from Avantī. He offers to support him with requisites, but Isidatta left, never to return.
