Misalnya, Baginda, seperti seseorang yang pergi dari desanya sendiri ke desa lain, lalu dari desa itu pergi ke desa lain lagi. Kemudian ia kembali dari desa itu ke desanya sendiri. Ia akan berpikir: ‘Aku pergi dari desaku sendiri ke desa itu; di sana aku berdiri begini, duduk begitu, berbicara begini, atau berdiam diri begitu. Dari desa itu aku pergi ke desa lain; di sana pun aku berdiri begini, duduk begitu, berbicara begini, atau berdiam diri begitu. Dan dari desa itu aku kembali ke desaku sendiri.’
Suppose a person was to leave their home village and go to another village. From that village they’d go to yet another village. And from that village they’d return to their home village. They’d think: ‘I went from my home village to another village. There I stood like this, sat like that, spoke like this, or kept silent like that. From that village I went to yet another village. There too I stood like this, sat like that, spoke like this, or kept silent like that. And from that village I returned to my home village.’
