Lavaņādisamudda-padam 6.155 lavane nam bhamte! samudde kim ussiodae? patthadodae? khubhiya-jale?
akhubhiyajale? goyamā! lavane nam samudde ussiodae, no patthadodae, khubhiyajale, no
akhubhiyajale? The Topic of Oceans named Lavaņa etc.
Is' the Lavana Ocean, O Lord! with high water-level? With even water-level? With agitated water-level (subjected to ebb-tide and flow-tide)? With un-agitated water-level (without tides)? Gautama! the Lavaņa Ocean is with high water-level, not with even water
level, agitated water-level, not with un-agitated water-level. 6.156 jahā ņam bhamte! lavaṇasamudde ussiodae, no patthadodae; khubhiyajale,
no akhubhiyajale; tahā nam bāhiragā samuddā kim ussiodagä? patthadodagā? khubhiyajalā? akhubhiyajalā? goyamā! bāhiragā samuddā no ussiodagā, patthadodagā; no khubhiyajalā, akhubhiyajalā punnā punnappamāṇā volavattamāņā vosattamāņā samabhāraghadattāe citthamti. Just as, O Lord! the Lavaņa Ocean is with high water-level, not with even water-level, agitated water-level, not with un-agitated water-level, so also are the external oceans (i.e. outside the region habitated by humans), with high water-level? Or with even water-level? Or with agitated water-level? Or with un-agitated water-level? Gautama! the external oceans are not with high water-level, but with even water-level, not with agitated water-level, but with un-agitated water-level. They are full, full to the brim, overflowing, over-swelling, and evenly full of
water. 6.157 atthi nam bhamte! lavanasamudde bahave orālā balāhayā samseyamti?
sammucchamti? vāsam vāsamti? hamtā atthi. Are there, O Lord! in the Lavana Ocean, many heavy clouds that get moistened, that get mingled together and that shower rain?
Yes, there are. 6.158 jahā nam bhamte! lavanasamudde bahave orālā balāhayā samseyamti,
