Thag 3.14 PTS: Thag 258-260- Gotama
While wandering on I went to hell; went again & again to the world of the hungry shades; stayed countless times, long, in the pain of the animal womb; enjoyed the human state; went to heaven from time to time; settled in the elements of form, the elements of formlessness, neither-perception, perception-less.

Ways of taking birth are now known: devoid of essence, <p style="text-align:center;">unstable, <p style="text-align:center;">conditioned, <p style="text-align:center;">always driven along. <p style="text-align:center;">Knowing them <p style="text-align:center;">as born from my self, <p style="text-align:center;">mindful <p style="text-align:center;">I went right to peace.
