ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า
Now this again, Master Kassapa, is evidence to me that there is neither another world, nor rebirth other than of parentage, nor fruit and result of deeds well - done and ill - done.'
9. 'Well then, Prince, I will make you a simile, for by a simile some intelligent persons will recognize the meaning of what is said. Just as if a man were plunged head-under in a pit of mire. And you were to order men saying : - " Well now, masters, pull the man out of that pit." They, saying " Very good," were to comply and pull him out. You were then to say to them :- " Well now, masters, brush the mire smearing him from off his body with split bamboo. And they were to obey you. And you were to say to them :- " Well now, masters, shampoo this man's body a treble massge with yellow shampoo powder." And they were to do so. And you were to say to them :- " Now, masters, rub him with oil, and bathe him three times using fine chunam. " And they were to do so. And you were to say to them :- " Well, masters, now dress his hair". And they were to do so. And you were to say to them :- " Now, masters, deck him with a costly garland and costly unguent and costly garments."
