Vatthu sutta: Grounds

Vatthusutta

Jarāvagga

What is it that sustains various beings? Unusually, this verse lacks a “Dhamma” counterpart.

“What is the site for human beings?
What is the best comrade here?

By what do the creatures who live off the earth

sustain their life?”

“Children are the site for human beings.
A wife is the best comrade.

The creatures who live off the earth

sustain their life by rain.”
