13. None Equal to that for a Son
Standing to one side, that devatå spoke this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:
“There is no affection like that for a son,
No wealth equal to cattle,
No light like the light of the sun,
Among the waters the ocean is supreme.”
(The Blessed One:)
“There is no affection like that for oneself,
No wealth equal to grain,
No light like the light of wisdom,
Among the waters the rain is supreme.”

(相應部 1-1-13)

[一三]無有如子者
立於一面之天神，於世尊前，而唱偈曰：
可愛莫若子  致富莫若牛
光明莫若陽  海為最上湖
[世尊：]
可愛莫若己  致富莫若谷
光明莫若慧  雨為最上湖
