At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Standing to one side, the godling Maghada addressed the Buddha in verse: Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho māgadho devaputto bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“How many lamps are there “Kati lokasmiṁ pajjotā, that light up the world? yehi loko pakāsati; We’ve come to ask the Buddha; Bhavantaṁ puṭṭhumāgamma, how are we to understand this?” kathaṁ jānemu taṁ mayan”ti.

“There are four lamps in the world, “Cattāro loke pajjotā, a fifth is not found. pañcamettha na vijjati; The sun blazes by day, Divā tapati ādicco, the moon radiates at night, rattimābhāti candimā.

while a fire illuminates both Atha aggi divārattiṁ, by day and by night. tattha tattha pakāsati; But a Buddha is the best of blazes: Sambuddho tapataṁ seṭṭho, this is the supreme radiance.” esā ābhā anuttarā”ti.
