1.2“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, puriso sinerussa pabbatarājassa satta muggamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā upanikkhipeyya.“Mendicants, suppose a person was to place on Sineru, the king of mountains, seven pebbles the size of mung beans.²

1.3Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave,What do you think, mendicants?1.4katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ, yā vā satta muggamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā upanikkhittā yo vā sineru pabbatarājā”ti?Which is more: the seven pebbles the size of mung beans, or Sineru, the king of mountains?”

2.1“Etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṁ yadidaṁ sineru pabbatarājā;“Sir, Sineru, the king of mountains, is certainly more.2.2appamattikā satta muggamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā upanikkhittā.The seven pebbles the size of mung beans are tiny.2.3Neva satimaṁ kalaṁ upenti na sahassimaṁ kalaṁ upenti na satasahassimaṁ kalaṁ upenti sineruṁ pabbatarājānaṁ upanidhāya satta muggamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā upanikkhittā”ti.Compared to Sineru, it’s not nearly a hundredth, a thousandth, or a hundred thousandth part.”
