2. The Garden of Delight
There’s Nothing Like a Child
1 At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
2 “There’s no fondness like that for a child,
no wealth equal to cattle,
no light like that of the sun,
and of streams the ocean is paramount.”
3 “There’s no fondness like that for oneself,
no wealth equal to grain,
no light like that of wisdom,
and of streams the rain is paramount.”
