[100] "There is not, Phagguna, that eye by which one, describing, could describe the Buddhas of the past — who have attained final Nibbāna (parinibbuta), who have cut through proliferation (papañca), cut off the track (vaṭuma), exhausted the round (vaṭṭa), and transcended all suffering (dukkha)…. There is not, Phagguna, that tongue by which one, describing, could describe the Buddhas of the past — who have attained final Nibbāna, who have cut through proliferation, cut off the track, exhausted the round, and transcended all suffering…. There is not, Phagguna, that mind (mano) by which one, describing, could describe the Buddhas of the past — who have attained final Nibbāna, who have cut through proliferation, cut off the track, exhausted the round, and transcended all suffering." The Tenth [sutta is concluded]. The Gilānavagga, the Third [chapter, is concluded]. Its summary (uddāna): Two were spoken concerning the sick; three more with Rādha; two were spoken on ignorance; the Bhikkhu, the World, and Phagguna. __________________ The Channavagga, the Fourth.
