Verses of the Elder Bhikkhunīs
Chapter of the Threes
Another Elder Uttamā
“These seven factors of enlightenment
are the path for attaining Nirvana.
I have developed all of them,
as taught by the Buddha.
I am one who gains at will
the objectless and emptiness.
I am the legitimate daughter of the Buddha,
ever so fond of Nirvana.
All sensual pleasures have been cut off,
both divine and human.
Destroyed is rebirth in saṁsāra,
now there is no coming back to any state of being.”
Another Elder Uttamā
