Then Uṇṇābha the brahmin went up to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him.

When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to the Buddha:

“Pañcimāni, bho gotama, indriyāni nānāvisayāni nānāgocarāni, na aññamaññassa gocaravisayaṁ paccanubhonti.

“Worthy Gotama, these five faculties have different domains and different ranges, and don’t experience each other’s domain and range.

Atha kho uṇṇābho brāhmaṇo bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.

And then the brahmin Uṇṇābha approved and agreed with what the Buddha said. He got up from his seat, bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.
25

Atha kho bhagavā acirapakkante uṇṇābhe brāhmaṇe bhikkhū āmantesi:

Then, not long after he had left, the Buddha addressed the mendicants:
26

“सेय्यथापि,sey·ya·thā·pi भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve कूटागारेkū·ṭā·gā·re वाvā कूटागारसालायंkū·ṭā·gā·ra·sā·lā·yaṃ वाvā पाचीनवातपानाpā·cī·na·vā·ta·pā·nā सूरियेsū·ri·ye उग्गच्छन्तेug·gac·chan·te वातपानेनvā·ta·pā·ne·na रस्मिras·mi पविसित्वाpa·vi·sit·vā क्वास्सkvās·sa पतिट्ठिता”ति?pa·tiṭ·ṭhi·tā

“Suppose there was a bungalow or a hall with a peaked roof, with windows on the eastern side. When the sun rises and a ray of light enters through a window, where would it land?”
27

“पच्छिमायं,pac·chi·mā·yaṃ भन्ते,bhan·te भित्तियन्”ति।bhit·ti·yan

“Pacchimāyaṁ, bhante, bhittiyan”ti.

“On the western wall, sir.”
28

“In the same way, the brahmin Uṇṇābha’s faith in the Realized One is settled, rooted, and planted deep. It’s strong and can’t be shifted by any ascetic or brahmin or god or Māra or divinity or by anyone in the world.
29

If he were to pass away at this time, he would be bound by no fetter that might return him to this world.”
