[365] Bhikkhus, the uninstructed worldling speaks such speech as this: "In the great ocean there is a bottomless abyss (pātāla)." But, bhikkhus, the uninstructed worldling speaks such speech about what is non-existent and not to be found: "In the great ocean there is a bottomless abyss." This, bhikkhus, is a designation for painful bodily feelings (vedanā), namely, "the bottomless abyss." Bhikkhus, when the uninstructed worldling is touched by painful bodily feeling, he sorrows, is wearied, laments, beats his breast and wails, and falls into confusion. This, bhikkhus, is called an uninstructed worldling who has not risen up in the bottomless abyss and has not gained a footing. But, bhikkhus, when the instructed noble disciple is touched by painful bodily feeling, he does not sorrow, is not wearied, does not lament, does not beat his breast and wail, and does not fall into confusion. This, bhikkhus, is called an instructed noble disciple who has risen up in the bottomless abyss and has gained a footing.
