SN1_61: Nāmasutta

Nāmasutta - translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi

“What has weighed down everything?
What is most extensive?
What is the one thing that has
All under its control?”

“Name has weighed down everything;
Nothing is more extensive than name.
Name is the one thing that has
All under its control.”
