1At Sāvatthī. sn.ii.139 "Bhikkhus, suppose that a man would place on Sineru, [n.221] According to early Buddhist cosmology, Sineru is the mountain at the centre of our world-sphere; the word is the Pali counterpart of the better known Skt Meru. For a fuller picture of Buddhist cosmology, see Vism 205–7 (Ppn 7:40–44), and Ppn 7: n. 15. the king of mountains, seven grains of gravel the size of mung beans. What do you think, bhikkhus, which is more: the seven grains of gravel the size of mung beans that have been placed there or Sineru, the king of mountains?"

2"Venerable sir, Sineru, the king of mountains, is more. The seven grains of gravel the size of mung beans are trifling. They do not amount to a hundredth part, or a thousandth part, or a hundred thousandth part of Sineru, the king of mountains."

3"So too, bhikkhus, the achievements of ascetics, brahmins, and wanderers of other sects do not amount to a hundredth part, or a thousandth part, or a hundred thousandth part of the achievement of a noble disciple, a person accomplished in view who has made the breakthrough. So great in achievement, bhikkhus, is a person accomplished in view, so great in direct knowledge." [n.222] Note that the ending here is different from the stock ending in the preceding suttas.
