Dear Dmytro,

Thanks for responding. But I know this reference, which is often quoted. I
am wondering
now if this is a modern simile, rather than a canonical one.

I thought it might be in the Milindapanha, but after searching through it,
failed to find any
reference.

I am hoping that we could find a reference in the Suttas, or maybe the
Commentaries.

Best wishes,

Piya Tan
