The Discourse on Being Awake
6.
At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:
"How many are asleep among those who are awake, how many are awake among those who are asleep?
By how many does one gather dust, by how many does one become purified?"
"Five are asleep among those who are awake, five are awake among those who are asleep;
By five does one gather dust, by five does one become purified."
