The Discourse on ‘There Is None Equal to a Son’
13.
At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:
"There is no affection equal to that for a son, there is no wealth equal to cattle,
There is no radiance equal to the sun, and the ocean is supreme among the waters."
[The Blessed One:] "There is no affection equal to that for oneself, there is no wealth equal to grain,
There is no radiance equal to wisdom, and rain indeed is the supreme among the waters."
