"Vipula is called the best of the mountains of Rājagaha,
Seta the best of the mountains of the Himavant,
the sun the best of those that course through the sky;
the ocean is the best of the waters,
and the moon of the stars;¹
the Buddha is declared the foremost
of the world together with its devas."
The Nānātitthiya Vagga, the third.

"Siva, Khema, and Serī, Ghaṭi, Jantu, and Rohita,
Nanda and Nandivisāla, Susima; with the Nānātitthiya, those are ten."
