I was struck with a sense of urgency, so astonishing and hair-raising! Curse those filthy sensual pleasures, so nasty and thorny, where we, both mother and daughter, had to be co-wives together. Seeing the danger in sensual pleasures, seeing renunciation as sanctuary, I went forth in R\u0101jagaha from the lay life to homelessness. I know my past lives; my clairvoyance is clarified; I encompass the minds of others; my clairaudience is purified; I\u2019ve realized the psychic powers, and attained the ending of defilements. I\u2019ve realized the six kinds of direct knowledge, and fulfilled the Buddha\u2019s instructions. I created a four-horsed chariot using my psychic powers. Then I bowed at the feet of the Buddha, the glorious protector of the world.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ve come to this sal tree all crowned with flowers, and stand at its root all alone. But you have no male companion with you\u2014 silly girl, aren\u2019t you afraid of rascals?\u201d \u201cEven if 100,000 rascals like this were to gang up, I\u2019d stir not a hair nor tremble. What could you do to me all alone, M\u0101ra? I\u2019ll vanish, or I\u2019ll enter your belly; I could stand between your eyebrows and you still wouldn\u2019t see me. I\u2019m the master of my own mind, I\u2019ve developed the bases of psychic power well. I\u2019ve realized the six kinds of direct knowledge, and fulfilled the Buddha\u2019s instructions. Sensual pleasures are like swords and spears; the aggregates are their chopping block. What you call erotic delight is now no delight for me. Relishing is banished in every respect, and the mass of darkness is shattered. So know this, Wicked One: you\u2019re beaten, terminator!\u201d","title":"Uppalava\u1e47\u1e47\u0101","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":282}
