Discourse on Radiance

          26. (The deva said:)

           How many kinds of radiance are there in the world, by which the world is illuminated? We have come to ask the Bhagava this question. How shall we understand this matter?

                (The Bhagava said:)

           "In the World there are four kinds of radiance; there is no fifth kind in this world.
          By day shines the sun, By night shines the moon,
          And by day or by night fire gives light in this or that place.
          But, of all things that shine, the radiance of the Self-Enlightened One stands supreme.
          This radiance is unsurpassed."

End of the Pajjota Sutta,
the sixth in this vagga.
