1.2.2 Nandatisutta

Sāvatthinidānaṃ. Ekamantaṃ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi—

“Nandati puttehi puttimā,
Gomā gohi tatheva nandati;
Upadhīhi narassa nandanā,
Na hi so nandati yo nirūpadhī”ti.

“Socati puttehi puttimā,
Gomā gohi tatheva socati;
Upadhīhi narassa socanā,
Na hi so socati yo nirūpadhī”ti.
