[451] Furthermore, bhikkhus, the great ocean does not abide together with a dead carcass; whatever dead carcass there is in the great ocean, it quickly carries it to the shore and casts it up onto dry land. Bhikkhus, that the great ocean does not abide together with a dead carcass — whatever dead carcass there is in the great ocean, it quickly carries it to the shore and casts it up onto dry land — this too, bhikkhus, is the third wonderful and marvellous quality in the great ocean, seeing which again and again the asuras delight in the great ocean.
