[445] 7. While I was living in the house, having heard the Dhamma from a bhikkhu, I saw the stainless Dhamma — Nibbāna, the imperishable state (padam accutaṃ). Then I, forsaking son and daughter, wealth and grain, having had my hair cut off, went forth into homelessness. While I was a probationer (sikkhamānā), developing the straight path (magga), I abandoned lust (rāga) and hatred (dosa), together with the taints (āsava) conjoined with them. Having received full ordination as a bhikkhunī, I recollected my former birth; the divine eye (dibbacakkhu) was purified — spotless, well developed. Having seen formations (saṅkhārā) as other, arisen from causes, subject to dissolution, I abandoned all the taints; I have become cool, I am quenched. Sakulā.
