Tatrāyaṃ upamā – eko kira cakkhumā puriso ‘‘nakkhattayogaṃ jānissāmī’’ti rattibhāge nikkhamitvā candaṃ passituṃ uddhaṃ ullokesi, tassa valāhakehi paṭicchannattā cando na paññāyittha. Atheko vāto uṭṭhahitvā thūlathūle valāhake viddhaṃseti. Aparo majjhime, aparo sukhumeti. Tato so puriso vigatavalāhake nabhe candaṃ disvā nakkhattayogaṃ aññāsi.
正如这样的譬喻：[PTS 674]如有明眼之人想道：「我要观察星相」，于夜分出来，仰观明月。但为乌云所覆，他不能见月。此时起了一阵大风，吹散浓厚的乌云，另一阵（风吹）中等的（云），又一阵（风吹）微薄的云。自此他得看见明月现于离去云翳的太空，而观察星相。
Ñ(XXII,8): Here is a simile. [674] A man with eyes went out at night, it seems, to find out the conjunction of the stars, and he looked up to see the moon. It was invisible because it was concealed by clouds. Then a wind sprang up and blew away the thick clouds; another blew away the medium clouds; and another blew away the fine clouds as well. Then the man saw the moon in the sky free from clouds, and he found out the conjunction of the stars.
