Theragāthā

Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Twos

2.23. Sobhi­ta

As a monk, mindful and wise,
Resolute in power and energy,
I recollected five hundred aeons
In one night.

Developing the four establishments of mindfulness,
The seven factors of awakening and the eightfold path,
I recollected five hundred aeons
In one night.
