The bonds are made to end, and he has no stains. His disposition and conduct are gentle, and he obtains spiritual knowledge. He then attains awareness of his own measureless past lives. From his present standpoint, there are no past lives he doesn’t know. ‘Whether it’s one birth, two births, three births, four births, five births, ten births, twenty births, thirty births, forty births, fifty births, a hundred births, a thousand births, a hundred thousand births, eons of formation and destruction, eons not of formation and destruction, eons both of formation and destruction and not of formation and destruction, countless eons of formation and destruction, or countless eons not of formation and destruction, I was there with such-and-such a name from such-and-such a family. Such was my birth, such my food, I experienced such pleasures and pains, and my life was long or short. I died there and was born elsewhere. I died there and was born here.’ In this way, he’s aware of the events of his own countless past lives. > — Charles Patton, The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 13.5.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.13.5.12) - [Next: 13.5.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.13.5.14) - [Up: 13.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.13.5) ## Translations (2) - [The Numbered Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-patton.13.5.p15) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva~en-mt.13.5.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.13.5.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ekottaragama*zh-sanghadeva.13.5.13) · Pramāṇa
