26.27

"The superknowledges attained by ordinary mortals
are just like those of flying birds:
some are near and some are far,
not leaving the path of birth and death.
The Buddha's superknowledge is an unobstructed dharma,
truly free from defilement and filth.
With a thought, it reaches the ten directions,
going and returning without exhaustion.
Because of compassion for sentient beings,
he attains superknowledges without hindrance.
The wisdom of the five superknowledges of the ṛṣis
regresses and does not reach completion.
My superknowledges are firm dharmas
that surely enter the gate of nirvāṇa."
