In one year, he attained the Way. Furthermore, the \*Vakkula-sūtra\* states: Vakkula declared: “Ever since I left home, throughout eighty years, I have never lain down with my ribs touching a mat, nor has my back leaned against anything.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.144](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10.144) - [Next: 10.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10.146) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123~en-mt.10.145) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10.145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2123.10.145) · Pramāṇa
