[846] Therein, what is the Tathāgata's knowledge (ñāṇa), as it really is (yathābhūta), of the recollection of past abodes (pubbenivāsānussati)?
Here the Tathāgata recollects his manifold past abodes, that is: one birth (jāti), two births, three births, four births, five births, ten births, twenty births, thirty births, forty births, fifty births, a hundred births, a thousand births, a hundred thousand births, many eons of world-contraction (saṃvaṭṭakappa), many eons of world-expansion (vivaṭṭakappa), many eons of world-contraction and expansion: 'There I was so named, of such a clan, with such an appearance, such was my nutriment, such my experience of pleasure and pain (sukha-dukkha), such the limit of my life span; passing away from there, I arose elsewhere; there too I was so named, of such a clan, with such an appearance, such was my nutriment, such my experience of pleasure and pain, such the limit of my life span; passing away from there, I was reborn here.' Thus he recollects his manifold past abodes with their modes (ākāra) and details (uddesa).
The wisdom (paññā) therein, the act of understanding, … non-delusion (amoha), investigation of dhammas (dhammavicaya), right view (sammādiṭṭhi) — this is the Tathāgata's knowledge, as it really is, of the recollection of past abodes.
