The firmament is far from the earth;they say the other shore of the ocean is far;and where the sun rises is farfrom where that beacon sets.But even further apart than that, they say,is the teaching of the virtuous from the wicked.

Nabhañca dūre pathavī ca dūre, Pāraṁ samuddassa tadāhu dūre; Yato ca verocano abbhudeti, Pabhaṅkaro yattha ca atthameti; Tato have dūrataraṁ vadanti, Satañca dhammaṁ asatañca dhammaṁ.

The firmament is far from the earth;
Nabhañca dūre pathavī ca dūre,
they say the other shore of the ocean is far;
Pāraṁ samuddassa tadāhu dūre;
and where the sun rises is far
Yato ca verocano abbhudeti,
from where that beacon sets.
Pabhaṅkaro yattha ca atthameti;
But even further apart than that, they say,
Tato have dūrataraṁ vadanti,
is the teaching of the virtuous from the wicked.
Satañca dhammaṁ asatañca dhammaṁ.
