“Etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṃ, mahāpathaviyā, yadidaṃ parikkhīṇaṃ pariyādiṇṇaṃ; appamattikā satta kolaṭṭhimattiyo guḷikā avasiṭṭhā. Neva satimaṃ kalaṃ upenti na sahassimaṃ kalaṃ upenti na satasahassimaṃ kalaṃ upenti mahāpathaviyā parikkhīṇaṃ pariyādiṇṇaṃ upanidhāya satta kolaṭṭhimattiyo guḷikā avasiṭṭhā”ti.

“Evameva kho, bhikkhave…pe…  dhammacakkhupaṭilābho”ti.
