Nandakasutta untranslated

Nandakasutta 01. Records the incident of the Buddha listening to the preaching of Nandaka and the continuation of Nandaka’s sermon. See Nandaka (1). AN.iv.358ff.

Nandakasutta 02. (or Licchavīsutta). Nandaka, minister of the Licchavīs, visits the Buddha at the Kūṭāgārasālā in Vesālī. The Buddha tells him that the Ariyan disciple, possessed of unwavering loyalty to the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Saṅgha, and having Ariyan virtues, is assured of enlightenment and happiness. During the conversation, a man comes to tell Nandaka that his bath is ready. Nandaka sends him away, saying that the inner washing – loyalty to the Buddha – is far more important. SN.v.389.
