Paṭhama Chiggaḷayuga Sutta
Sutta百年に一度だけ水面に浮上する盲亀が、水に漂う軛の一つの穴に首を通すことのほうが、悪趣に堕ちた愚者が人間として再生することよりもまだたやすいと説く経。
It is more probable that a blind turtle, rising to the surface only once in a hundred years, should put his neck through a yoke (chiggala) with a single hole, floating about in the ocean, than that a fool who has gone to the Downfall should become a man again (S.v.455; cp. M.iii.169; Thig.500).
