"For what reason, Venerable Sir, is it said: 'a leg-soarer, a leg-soarer'?"
"Gautama! To one who cultivates himself with uninterrupted penance of two-day fasts, the power named leg-soaring arises. For that reason, Gautama, it is said: 'a leg-soarer, a leg-soarer.'"
"Venerable Sir, what is the swiftness of movement of a leg-soarer, what is the scope of swift movement declared to be?"
"Gautama! Just as this Jambūdvīpa island, up to slightly more in circumference—if a deity of great miraculous power, up to great majesty, thinking: 'Right now, right now!', having circled the entire Jambūdvīpa island twenty-one times within three snaps of the fingers, should return swiftly—such, Gautama, is the swiftness of movement of a leg-soarer declared to be, such is the scope of swift movement declared to be."
"Venerable Sir, how extensive is the transverse scope of movement declared to be for a leg-soarer?"
"Gautama! In one leap from here he descends upon the excellent Rucaka island; having done so, he venerates the caityas there; having venerated them, returning from there, in a second leap he descends upon the excellent Nandīśvara island; having done so, he venerates the caityas there; having venerated them, he comes here; having arrived, he venerates the caityas here. Gautama, such is the transverse scope of movement declared to be for a leg-soarer."
"Venerable Sir, how extensive is the upward scope of movement declared to be for a leg-soarer?"
"Gautama! In one leap from here he descends upon the Paṇḍaka grove; having done so, he venerates the caityas there; having venerated them, returning from there, in a second leap he descends upon the Nandana grove; having done so, he venerates the caityas there; having venerated them, he comes here; having arrived, he venerates the caityas here. Gautama, such is the upward scope of movement declared to be for a leg-soarer. If he dies without having confessed and repented of that transgression, he has no attainment. If he dies having confessed and repented of that transgression, he has attainment."
"So it is, Venerable Sir! So it is, Venerable Sir!" Up to [Gautama] continues to dwell.
