The Lord said, “What do you think, Subhūti? If there were just as many Ganges Rivers as there are grains of sand in the Ganges River, would the grains of sand in them be numerous?”
Subhūti said, “That many Ganges Rivers alone would be numerous, Lord, to say nothing of the grains of sand in them.”
The Lord said, “I’ll tell you, Subhūti, I’ll have you know—if there were as many world-systems as there would be grains of sand in those Ganges Rivers, and some woman or man were to fill them with the seven treasures and make a gift of them to the Realized, Worthy and Perfectly Awakened Ones, what do you think, Subhūti, would that woman or man generate a lot of merit on that basis?”
Subhūti said, “A lot, Lord, a lot, Blessed One. That woman or man would generate a lot of merit on that basis.”
The Lord said, “If, however, someone were to fill that many world-systems with the seven treasures and make a gift of them, Subhūti, and if someone were to do no more than learn just a four-lined verse from this round of teachings and teach it to others, the latter would generate from that a lot more merit, an immeasurable and incalculable amount.
