5.12.p3

‘‘Pañcayojanikā jivhā, sīsaṃ te navayojanaṃ;
Kāyo accuggato tuyhaṃ, pañcavīsatiyojanaṃ;
Kiṃ nu kammaṃ karitvāna, pattosi dukkhamīdisa’’nti.

Your tongue is five leagues long, your head is nine leagues long,
Your body rises twenty-five leagues above the earth;
What was the deed you did to meet with such suffering as this?

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
