1. Pathavī Sutta
Seven small balls of clay, as big as jujube kernels, are
infinitely smaller than the earth. So with the Ariyan disciple - when he has won
understanding, the dukkha that remains is infinitely smaller than that which he
has destroyed. S. ii.135f.; repeated at S. v.462f.
2. Pathavī Sutta
The same as the above. S. ii.136.
3. Pathavī Sutta
Incalculable is samsāra. The number of parents a man has
had would be greater than the number of balls, each the size of a kola (jujube)
kernel, that could be made of the clay of the earth. S. ii.179.
