[378] "What do you think, Udāyī? Of these two splendors (vaṇṇa) — the morning star (osadhitārakā) at the time of the approach of dawn in the night, when the sky is clear and free of clouds, or the moon exactly at midnight on the fifteenth-day uposatha, when the sky is clear and free of clouds — which splendor is the more excellent and the more sublime?"
"Venerable sir, of these two splendors, the moon exactly at midnight on the fifteenth-day uposatha, when the sky is clear and free of clouds, is the more excellent and the more sublime."
