‘Again, Vāseṭṭha, if this river Aciravatī were full of water even to the brim, and overflowing. And a man with business on the other side, making for the other side, bound for the other side, should come up, and want to cross over. And if he covering himself up, even to his head, were to lie down, on this bank, to sleep.’
‘Now what think you, Vāseṭṭha? Would that man be able to get over from this bank of the river Aciravatī to the further bank?’
‘Certainly not, Gotama!’
