[382] "Friend, in the eighty years since I went forth, I do not recall that a thought of sensuality (kāmavitakka) has ever arisen in me." "That the Venerable Bakkula, in eighty years, does not recall that a thought of sensuality has ever arisen in him — this too we remember as a marvellous and amazing quality (acchariya abbhūtadhamma) of the Venerable Bakkula." "Friend, in the eighty years since I went forth, I do not recall that a thought of ill will … a thought of cruelty has ever arisen in me." "That the Venerable Bakkula, in eighty years, does not recall that a thought of cruelty has ever arisen in him — this too we remember as a marvellous and amazing quality of the Venerable Bakkula."
