[555] The Venerable Mahākaccāna said this: "Friends, the Blessed One, having recited to us a summary in brief without analyzing its meaning in detail, rose from his seat and entered his dwelling:
'One should not run back to the past …
It is he, indeed, whom the peaceful sage declares
"one who has one excellent night (bhaddekaratta)."'
Of this summary, friends, recited in brief by the Blessed One without its meaning being analyzed in detail, I understand the meaning in detail thus."
