Soṇa of the Sharp Ears

I’ve received ordination; I am liberated, without defilements; I’ve seen the Blessed One myself, and even stayed together with him. The Blessed One, the Teacher, spent much of the night in the open; then he, who is so skilled in meditation, entered his dwelling. Spreading his outer robe, Gotama made his bed, like a lion in a rocky cave, with fear and dread given up. Then, with lovely enunciation, Soṇa, a disciple of the Buddha, recited the true teaching before the best of Buddhas. When he has completely understood <j>the five aggregates, developed the direct route, and arrived at ultimate peace, undefiled, he’ll be fully quenched.
