‘Gautama! That meaning is not correct; this would be a false imputation against the gods.’
‘Venerable Sir! Should they also be called “unrestrained”?’
‘Gautama! That meaning is not correct; this would be a harsh statement regarding the gods.’
‘Venerable Sir! Should they be called “partially restrained”?’

‘Then what, Venerable Sir, should the gods be called?’
