Pathavīsutta
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
“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.
