“No,/ I have not/ Lord/”

But if/ Sunakkhatta/ not the one,/ I said/ and you said not the other,

Come/ you/ Sunakkhatta/ under my rule/live/ I/ for your/ surpassing the
power of ordinary men / mystic wonders / will work

" if/ to me/ you/ did not say that:/ I/ Lord,/ the Fortunate One/ under
rule/ will be/ the Fortunate One/ for me/ surpassing the power of ordinary

men/ mystic wonders/ will work/?”

Such being the case,/ foolish man,/ who/ are you/ what are you/ giving
up?

“about matter/ What/ do you think,/ Sunakkhatta?”/

Whether/ surpassing the power of ordinary men/ mystic wonders are

performed/ or whether there are not, / surpassing the power of ordinary
men/ mystic wonders / is the object/ for which I/ the Norm this/ teach/:
that it/ leads/ to the thorough destruction of ill/ for the doer thereof?/

Whether/ sir/ surpassing the power of ordinary men/ mystic wonders are
performed/ or whether there are not, / surpassing the power of ordinary
men/ mystic wonders / is the object for which /by the Fortunate One/ the
Norm / is thought/: that it/ leads/ to the thorough destruction of ill/ for the

doer thereof?/
