1. ‘Bring hither a fig from there.’ ‘Here it is, Sir.’ ‘Divide it.’ ‘It is divided, Sir.’ ‘What do you see there?’ ‘These rather (iva) fine seeds, Sir.’ ‘Of these, please (aṅga), divide one.’ ‘It is divided, Sir.’ ‘What do you see there?’ ‘Nothing at all, Sir.’ 2. Then he said to him: ‘Verily, my dear, that finest essence which you do not perceive—verily, my dear, from that finest essence this great Nyagrodha (sacred fig) tree thus arises.
