[446] 8.
Having given birth to ten children in this accumulation of form (rūpasamussaya),
then, weak and aged, I approached a bhikkhunī.
She taught me the Dhamma — the aggregates (khandha), the sense bases (āyatana), and the elements (dhātu);
having heard her Dhamma, I cut off my hair and went forth.
While I was training, the divine eye (dibbacakkhu) was purified;
I know my former abodes (pubbenivāsa), where I lived before.
I develop the signless (animitta), one-pointed, well concentrated;
I attained liberation (vimokkha) immediately; I am quenched without clinging.
The five aggregates are fully understood; they stand with their root cut off.
Shame on you, vile old age! Now there is no renewed existence.
Soṇā.
