"Venerable Sir, what is this sun? Venerable Sir, what is the meaning of the sun?"
"Gautama! The sun is auspicious; the meaning of the sun is auspicious."
"Venerable Sir, what is this sun? Venerable Sir, what is the radiance of the sun?"
"Gautama! The sun is auspicious; the radiance of the sun is auspicious."
"Venerable Sir, what is this sun? Venerable Sir, what is the shade of the sun?"
"Gautama! The sun is auspicious; the shade of the sun is auspicious."
"Venerable Sir, what is this sun? Venerable Sir, what is the leśyā of the sun?"
"Gautama! The sun is auspicious; the leśyā of the sun is auspicious."
