[1][pts] Evaṃ me sutaṃ:|| ||

Ekaṃ samayaṃ Bhagavā Sāvatthiyaṃ viharati Jetavane Anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.|| ||

Tatra kho Bhagavā bhikkhu āmantesi:|| ||

Bhagavā etad avoca:|| ||

[139] "Seyyathā pi bhikkhave, puriso sinerussa pabba-tarājassa satta mugga-mattiyo pāsāṇa-sakkharā upanikkhipeyya.|| ||

Taṃ kim maññatha bhikkhave?|| ||

Katamaṃ nu kho bahutaraṃ yā vā satta mugga-mattiyo pāsāṇa-sakkharā upanikkhittā,||
yo vā sineru pabba-tarājā" ti?|| ||

"Etad eva bhante, bahutaraṃ yad idaṃ sineru pabba-tarājā.|| ||

Appamattikā satta mugga-mattiyo pāsāṇa-sakkharā upanikkhittā.|| ||

N'eva satimaṃ kalaṃ upenti,||
na sahassimaṃ kalaṃ upenti,||
na sata-sahassimaṃ kalaṃ upenti,||

N'eva satimaṃ kalaṃ upeti,||

Evaṃ mahatthiyo kho bhikkhave dhammābhisamayo,||
