[432] "What do you think, friend Kaccāna? Of these two developments of mind (cittabhāvanā) — that of the bhikkhu who abides having pervaded and resolved upon an area as far as two or three village districts as 'expansive (mahaggata)', and that of the bhikkhu who abides having pervaded and resolved upon an area as far as one great kingdom as 'expansive' — which development of mind is the more expansive?"
"Venerable sir, of these two developments of mind, that of the bhikkhu who abides having pervaded and resolved upon an area as far as one great kingdom as 'expansive' — this is the more expansive."
