Cūḷasamudda

Before he started the monks asked him the time, and when he told them they said, “But, Sir, Pāṭaliputta is far off!”

“Friends, aged elders seize the distance and make it near.”

“Where is the ocean, Sir?” “Friends, that was the dark ditch you passed on the way!”

“But, Sir, the ocean is large!” “Friends, aged elders make the great small.” (Vsm.403).

The Majjhima Commentary (ii.758) mentions a Gavilaṅgana-vāsi Cūḷasammuda who, when asked what he wished for, answered, “Lokuttara things only.”
