"Then, O Sudaṃsaṇa, having cast off childhood, merely understanding and mature, having reached youth, you heard the Dharma expounded by the Kevalin in the presence of such elders, and that Dharma was wished for, accepted, and approved [by you]. Therefore, O Sudaṃsaṇa, you act very well even now! For that reason, O Sudaṃsaṇa, it is said thus: 'There is indeed an exhaustion or diminution of these palyopamas and sāgaropamas.'"
Then, as that setthi Sudaṃsaṇa heard and grasped this matter in the presence of the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra, with pure intention, pure mental transformation, with lesyās becoming fully purified, and through the destruction-cum-suppression of the karmas veiling that [knowledge], while performing investigation, consideration, searching, and inquiry, the sentient memory of past births arose [in him], and he fully comprehended this matter correctly.
Then that setthi Sudaṃsaṇa, having his past birth recalled by the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra, with doubled faith and spiritual urgency, his eyes filled with tears of joy, circumambulated the ascetic, the Lord Mahāvīra, three times from left to right, and having circumambulated, revered and bowed down to him; having revered and bowed down, he spoke thus: "It is just so, Venerable Sir! It is thus, Venerable Sir! It is not otherwise, Venerable Sir! It is undoubted, Venerable Sir! It is wished for, Venerable Sir! It is accepted, Venerable Sir! It is wished for and accepted, Venerable Sir! It is just as you say!" Having spoken thus, he retired toward the north-eastern direction; the rest as with Usabhadatta down to: he was freed from all suffering; with this difference: he studied the fourteen Pūrvas, fulfilled a full twelve years of monastic life, the rest being just the same.
"It is so, Venerable Sir! It is so, Venerable Sir!"
