Summary intro: This text was translated from a Burmese version.

The text on the teaching of generosity 'dāna' - mainly on two types of giving: 1) Making dāna offering to the moral person and 2) that of the immoral person. Making offering to moral person will bear better results than doing it to the immoral person. Venerable Sīvali had done such good deeds to the moral person in his previous life, so that in this life when he became a monk, he has so many devotees and followers.
