[1736] P. The Buddha, the Blessed One, remained in the human world (manussaloka)?
S. Yes.
P. Was not the Blessed One born in the world and grown up in the world, and does he not dwell having overcome the world, unsullied by the world?
S. Yes.
P. If the Blessed One was born in the world and grew up in the world, and dwells having overcome the world, unsullied by the world, then indeed, good sir, it should not be said, "The Buddha, the Blessed One, remained in the human world."
The Discussion on the Human World (Manussalokakathā) is concluded.
