[227] Standing to one side, the young deva (devaputta) Māgadha [3] addressed the Blessed One in verse: "How many lights are there in the world, by which the world is illumined? Having come to ask the Blessed One, how may we know this?" [Siam edition footnotes: 1. Sī., Yu. read "ca"; M. reads "ce". 2. Sī., Yu. read "asito". (Notes 1–2 pertain to the preceding item.) 3. Sī. reads "Māgho" (Māgha).]
