“सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, पुरिसो महापथविया सत्त कोलट्ठिमत्तियो गुळिका उपनिक्खिपेय्य।
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, puriso mahāpathaviyā1 satta kolaṭṭhimattiyo guḷikā upanikkhipeyya.
“Bhikkhus, suppose a person was to place seven clay balls the size of jujube seeds on the great earth.
तं किं मञ्ञथ, भिक्खवे, कतमं नु खो बहुतरं, या वा सत्त कोलट्ठिमत्तियो गुळिका उपनिक्खित्ता या वा महापथवी”ति?
Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave, katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ, yā vā satta kolaṭṭhimattiyo guḷikā upanikkhittā yā vā mahāpathavī”ti?
What do you think, bhikkhus? Which is more: the seven clay balls the size of jujube seeds, or the great earth?”
“एतदेव, भन्ते, बहुतरं, यदिदं महापथवी; अप्पमत्तिका सत्त कोलट्ठिमत्तियो गुळिका उपनिक्खित्ता। नेव सतिमं कलं उपेन्ति न सहस्सिमं कलं उपेन्ति न सतसहस्सिमं कलं उपेन्ति महापथविं उपनिधाय सत्त कोलट्ठिमत्तियो गुळिका उपनिक्खित्ता”ति।
“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.
“Sir, the great earth is certainly more. The seven clay balls the size of jujube seeds are tiny. Compared to the great earth, it’s not nearly a hundredth, a thousandth, or a hundred thousandth part.”
“एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे …पे… धम्मचक्खुपटिलाभो”ति।
“Evameva kho, bhikkhave …pe… dhammacakkhupaṭilābho”ti.
“In the same way, for a noble disciple, the suffering that’s over and done with is more …”
