thus i have heard at one time. The Lord dwelt at Rajagriha,on the Vulture Peak, together with a great gathering of monks,with 1,250 monks,all of them arhats,-their outflows dried up, undefiled,
fully controlled,quite freed in their hears,well freedand wise, thoroughbreds,great Serpents, their work done, their task accomplished, their burdens laid down, their own weal accomplished,with the fetters that blund them to becoming extinguished, their hearts well freed by right understanding, in perfect control of their whole minds-with the esception of one single person,i.c.,the Venerable Ananda.
The Lord said to the Venerable Subhuti,the Elder:Mske it clear now, Subhuti,to the Bodhisattvas,the great beings,starting from perfect wisdom, how the Bodhisattvas,the great beings go forth into perfect wisdom!
