At Sāvatthī. Now at that time the Buddha had gone into retreat for the day’s meditation. Then the independent divinities Subrahmā and Suddhāvāsa went to the Buddha and stationed themselves one by each door-post. Then Subrahmā spoke this verse about the mendicant Kokālika in the Buddha’s presence:

PL

Sāvatthinidānaṁ. Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā divāvihāragato hoti paṭisallīno. Atha kho subrahmā ca paccekabrahmā suddhāvāso ca paccekabrahmā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā paccekaṁ dvārabāhaṁ nissāya aṭṭhaṁsu. Atha kho subrahmā paccekabrahmā kokālikaṁ bhikkhuṁ ārabbha bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:

EN

“What wise person here would judge the immeasurable by measuring them? I think anyone who’d do such a thing is an ordinary person, shrouded.”

PL

“Appameyyaṁ paminanto, Kodha vidvā vikappaye; Appameyyaṁ pamāyinaṁ, Nivutaṁ taṁ maññe puthujjanan”ti.
