[396] "What do you think, Kaccāna? Of these two splendors, which splendor is the more excellent and the more sublime: the morning star (osadhitārakā) in a clear, cloudless sky at the time of dawn in the night, or the moon at exact midnight in a clear, cloudless sky on that fifteenth-day Uposatha?"
"Worthy Gotama, of these two splendors, the moon at exact midnight in a clear, cloudless sky on that fifteenth-day Uposatha is the more excellent and the more sublime."
