Verses of the Elder Nun Bhaddā Kāpilānī
63.
"The son, the heir of the Buddha, Kassapa, well concentrated;
He who knows past lives, and sees heaven and the realms of misery.
64.
"And also has attained the elimination of birth, the sage accomplished through direct knowledge;
By these three true knowledges, one becomes a possessor of the threefold true knowledge, a brahmin.
65.
"Likewise Bhaddā Kāpilānī, possessing the threefold true knowledge, victorious over death;
Bears her final body, having conquered Māra with his army.
66.
"Having seen the danger in the world, we both have gone forth;
We are ones who have eliminated the mental corruptions, tamed, become cool, quenched."
