“Bhante nāgasena, ‘bhojanassa tīṇi aṅgāni gahetabbānī’ti yaṃ vadesi, katamāni tāni tīṇi aṅgāni gahetabbānī”ti? “Yathā, mahārāja, bhojanaṃ sabbasattānaṃ upatthambho; evameva kho, mahārāja, yoginā yogāvacarena sabbasattānaṃ maggu­pattham­bhena bhavitabbaṃ. Idaṃ, mahārāja, bhojanassa paṭhamaṃ aṅgaṃ gahetabbaṃ.

Puna caparaṃ, mahārāja, bhojanaṃ sabbasattānaṃ balaṃ vaḍḍheti; evameva kho, mahārāja, yoginā yogāvacarena puññavaḍḍhiyā vaḍḍhitabbaṃ. Idaṃ, mahārāja, bhojanassa dutiyaṃ aṅgaṃ gahetabbaṃ.

‘Saṃyamena niyamena,
sīlena paṭipattiyā;
Patthitena bhavitabbaṃ,
sabbalokassa yoginā’”ti.
