[46] Brahmin, there are some ascetics and brahmins who perceive night, when it is in fact night, to be day, and who perceive day, when it is in fact day, to be night. This on their part, I declare, is a dwelling in delusion (sammohavihāra). But I, brahmin, perceive night, when it is in fact night, to be night, and I perceive day, when it is in fact day, to be day. Brahmin, if of anyone it could rightly be said: "A being not subject to delusion has arisen in the world for the welfare of many people, for the happiness of many people, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and human beings" — it is of me alone that one speaking rightly should say it: "A being not subject to delusion has arisen in the world for the welfare of many people, for the happiness of many people, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and human beings."
