Ekaṁ samayaṁ Bhagavā Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati||

Bhagavā etad avoca:|| ||

"Seyyathā pi bhikkhave,||

Taṁ kim maññatha bhikkhave?|| ||

Katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ yāni vā dve vā tīṇi vā udakaphusitāni ubbhatāni,||
yaṁ vā mahā-samudde udakan" ti?|| ||

[137] "Etad eva bhante,||
bahutaraṁ yad idaṁ mahā-samudde udakaṁ appamattāni dve vā tīṇi vā udakaphusitāni ubbhatāni.|| ||
