“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, puriso mahāpathaviyā satta kolaṭṭhimattiyo guḷikā upanikkhipeyya.

Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave,

katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ, yā vā satta kolaṭṭhimattiyo guḷikā upanikkhittā yā vā mahāpathavī”ti?

“Etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṁ, yadidaṁ mahāpathavī;

appamattikā satta kolaṭṭhimattiyo guḷikā upanikkhittā.

Neva satimaṁ kalaṁ upenti na sahassimaṁ kalaṁ upenti na satasahassimaṁ kalaṁ upenti mahāpathaviṁ upanidhāya satta kolaṭṭhimattiyo guḷikā upanikkhittā”ti.

“Evameva kho, bhikkhave …pe…

dhammacakkhupaṭilābho”ti.

Pañcamaṁ.
