ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า
At the end of the discourse, Anathapindika, the father of Culasubbhadda, approached the Buddha to invite him to have alms-food in his house the following day. But the Buddha replied that he had already accepted Culasubbhadda's invitation for the next day.
Anathapindika was puzzled at the reply of the Buddha and said, "But, Venerable Sir! Culasubbhadda does not live here in Savatthi; she lives in Ugga at a distance of one hundred and twenty yojanas from here." To him the Buddha said, "True, householder, but the good are clearly visible as if they are in one's very presence even though they may be living at a distance".
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
dure sánto pakasenti himavanto va pabbatò
asanto ettha na dissanti ratti khitta yatha sara
5) Like the Himalayas, the good are visible even from afar;
like arrows shot in the night, the wicked are not seen even though they may be near.
