About Katamorakatissaka

1 At Sāvatthī.

Now at that time the Buddha had gone into retreat for the day’s meditation. Then the independent divinities Subrahmā and Suddhāvāsa went to the Buddha and stationed themselves one by each door-post.

the immeasurable by measuring them?

is an ignoramus, shrouded.”
