1. N±ma Sutta
Discourse on Nomenclature

61. (The deva said:)

"What covers everything?

What is the thing that cannot be exceeded in number?

What single factor dominates all things?"

(The Bhagava said:)

Nomenclature covers everything.*

Names cannot be exceeded in number.

Nomenclature is the single factor that dominates everything."

End of the N±ma Sutta,

the first in this vagga.

* Nomenclature covers everything: There is nothing in the world that goes without a name. This applies to all animate and inanimate things.
