I had not escaped from it, severed ties with it, or been delivered from it. Nor did I dwell extensively with a mind free from error. Monks, I did not have the knowledge that I had fully awakened to unsurpassed and perfect buddhahood. “Monks, once I had achieved the vision, insight, knowledge, understanding, and realization of turning these four truths of noble beings in three phases with twelve aspects, I was freed from this world with its devas, from its living beings including māras and brahmās as well as mendicants and brahmins, from its gods and humans. I had escaped from it, severed ties with it, and been delivered from it. I dwelled extensively with a mind free from error. - [Previous: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.dharmacakrapravartanasutra*bo-d337~en-84000.2) - [Next: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.dharmacakrapravartanasutra*bo-d337~en-84000.4) ## Linked texts (1) - [ཆོས་ཀྱི་འཁོར་ལོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.dharmacakrapravartanasutra*bo-d337.3) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.dharmacakrapravartanasutra*bo-d337~en-84000.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.samyukta.dharmacakrapravartanasutra*bo-d337~en-84000.3) · Pramāṇa
