5.2.p9

‘‘Manussasseva me sīsaṃ, hatthapādā ca siṅgila;
Yāhu seṭṭhā manussesu, sā me paññā na vijjatī’’ti. (jā. 1.4.82);

Siṅgila, my head and my hands and my feet are indeed just like those of a man;
But as for what they say is man’s highest endowment, intelligence, I have it not.

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