Verses of the Elder Bhikkhunīs
Chapter of the Twos
Verses of the Elder Jentā
“These seven factors of enlightenment
are the path for attaining Nirvana.
I have developed all of them,
as taught by the Buddha.
I have seen the Bhagavant,
this is my last body.
Destroyed is rebirth in saṁsāra,
now there is no coming back to any state of being.”
Thus Jentā the Elder spoke these verses.
