    “Mendicants, suppose there was a lotus pond that was fifty leagues long, fifty leagues wide, and fifty leagues deep, full to the brim so a crow could drink from it.

    Tato puriso kusaggena udakaṁ uddhareyya.

    Then a person would pick up some water on the tip of a blade of grass.

  6. 6

    तंtaṃ किंkiṃ मञ्ञथ,mañ·ña·tha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve

    Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave,

    What do you think, mendicants?

    katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ—yaṁ vā kusaggena ubbhataṁ, yaṁ vā pokkharaṇiyā udakan”ti?

    Which is more: the water on the tip of the blade of grass, or the water in the lotus pond?”

  8. 8

    “एतदेव,e·ta·de·va भन्ते,bhan·te बहुतरं,ba·hu·ta·raṃ यदिदं—पोक्खरणियाya·di·daṃ उदकं;u·da·kaṃ अप्पमत्तकंap·pa·mat·ta·kaṃ कुसग्गेनku·sag·ge·na उदकंu·da·kaṃ उब्भतं।ub·bha·taṃ

    “Etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṁ, yadidaṁ—pokkharaṇiyā udakaṁ; appamattakaṁ kusaggena udakaṁ ubbhataṁ.

    “Sir, the water in the lotus pond is certainly more. The water on the tip of a blade of grass is tiny.

    Saṅkhampi na upeti, upanidhampi na upeti, kalabhāgampi na upeti pokkharaṇiyā udakaṁ upanidhāya kusaggena udakaṁ ubbhatan”ti.

    Compared to the water in the lotus pond, it doesn’t count, there’s no comparison, it’s not worth a fraction.”
