Verses of the Elder Bhikkhunīs The Chapter of the Threes Verses of the Elder Dantikā “Having ventured out from my day’s abiding at Vulture’s Peak Mountain, I saw an elephant going in and out the river by the shore. A man took a pole with a hook, and said to him: ‘Hand me your foot.’ The elephant held out his foot, and the man mounted him. Once I saw the untamed tamed, brought under human control, from there I sought one-pointedness of mind— this is why I went to the forest.” The Elder Dantikā
