[397] "What do you think, Kaccāna? Which of these two splendors is the more excellent and the more sublime: the moon at midnight, in a clear sky free of clouds, on the fifteenth-day Uposatha, or the sun at midday, in a clear sky free of clouds, in the autumn season, in the last month of the rains?"
"Sir Gotama, of these two splendors, the sun at midday, in a clear sky free of clouds, in the autumn season, in the last month of the rains, is the more excellent and the more sublime."
