一部經，有比丘問是否有任何恆常之物，佛陀舉起一團牛糞說明即便最微小的自體存續也不穩固，並進而講述自己前生身為大善見王時的極致榮華最終也歸於消亡。

A discourse in which the Buddha, asked whether anything is permanent, holds up a pellet of cow dung to show that even the smallest span of personal existence is unstable, then recounts how his own past splendor as King Mahā-Sudassana ultimately perished.
