[470] Dwelling at Sāvatthī ... There the Blessed One ... [said:]
"Bhikkhus, approach families like the moon — drawing back the body and drawing back the mind, ever as newcomers among families, not impudent. Just as, bhikkhus, a man looking down into an old well, or a mountain precipice, or an impassable river gorge would draw back the body and draw back the mind, even so, bhikkhus, approach families like the moon — drawing back the body and drawing back the mind, ever as newcomers among families, not impudent.
"Kassapa, bhikkhus, approaches families like the moon — drawing back the body and drawing back the mind, ever a newcomer among families, not impudent."
