Dhovananti aṭṭhidhovanaṃ, ekaccesu kira janapadesu kālakate ñātake na jhāpenti, nikhaṇitvā ṭhapenti. Atha nesaṃ pūtibhūtaṃ kāyaṃ ñatvā nīharitvā aṭṭhīni dhovitvā gandhehi makkhitvā ṭhapenti. Te nakkhattakāle ekasmiṃ ṭhāne aṭṭhīni ṭhapetvā ekasmiṃ ṭhāne surādīni ṭhapetvā rodantā paridevantā suraṃ pivanti. Vuttampi cetaṃ "atthi bhikkhave dakkhiṇesu janapadesu aṭṭhidhovanaṃ nāma, tattha hoti annampi pānampi khajjampi bhojanampi lehampi peyyampi naccampi gītampi vāditampi. Atthetaṃ bhikkhave dhovanaṃ, netaṃ natthīti vadāmī"ti. Ekacce pana "indajālena aṭṭhidhovanaṃ dhovanan"tipi vadanti.

Hatthiyuddhādīsu bhikkhuno neva hatthiādīhi saddhiṃ yujjhituṃ, na te yujjhāpetuṃ, na yujjhante daṭṭhuṃ vaṭṭati. Nibbuddhanti mallayuddhaṃ. Upyojikanti yattha sampahāro dissati. Balagganti balagaṇaṭṭhānaṃ. Senābyūhanti senāya niveso, sakaṭabyūhādivasena senāya nivesanaṃ. Anīkadassananti "tayo hatthī pacchimaṃ hatthānīkan"ti ādinā nayena vuttassa anīkassa dassanaṃ.
