SN47:73–84 Strenuous, Etc.
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
[n.184] Ee wrongly reads here "73–82 (1–10)," though there are twelve suttas. Also, in the Searches Chapter (Esanavagga, IX), Ee reads "83–93 (1‒11)" instead of "85–94 (1–10)." Apparently Ee counts the "craving" suttas as two, though in the previous chapters it reckoned the two together. To be elaborated parallel to SN45:149–60.
2Strenuous, seeds, and nāgas,
The tree, the pot, the spike,
The sky, and two on clouds,
The ship, guest house, and river.
1"Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, ye keci balakaraṇīyā kammantā karīyantī"ti vitthāretabbaṁ.
Balakaraṇīyavaggo aṭṭhamo.
2Balaṁ bījañca nāgo ca,
rukkho kumbhena sūkiyā;
Ākāsena ca dve meghā,
nāvā āgantukā nadīti.
