At one time one of the mendicants was staying in the land of the Kosalans in a certain forest grove. The deity haunting that forest approached that mendicant and recited this verse in their presence:

“In the still of high noon, 
when the birds have settled down, 
the formidable jungle whispers to itself: 
that strikes me as so scary!”

“In the still of high noon, 
when the birds have settled down, 
the formidable jungle whispers to itself: 
that strikes me as so delightful!”
