[273] "Bhikkhus, if you were to attend frequently to this advice on the simile of the saw, do you see any pathway of speech, subtle or gross, that you could not endure?"
"No, venerable sir."
"Therefore, bhikkhus, attend frequently to this advice on the simile of the saw. That will be for your welfare and happiness for a long time."
Thus spoke the Blessed One. Delighted, those bhikkhus rejoiced in the Blessed One's utterance.
