Nikaya

Where Suffering Subsides

Verses of the Senior Monks 2.23

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Three

Sobhita

As a monk, mindful and wise,

empowered and full of energy,

I recollected five hundred eons

in a single night.

Developing the four mindfulness meditations,

the seven factors of awakening, and the eightfold path,

I recollected five hundred eons

in a single night.
