Thig 5.8 PTS: Thig 102-106- Sona: Mother of Ten
Ten children I bore from this physical heap. Then weak from that, aged, I went to a nun. She taught me the Dhamma: aggregates, sense spheres, & elements. Hearing her Dhamma, I cut off my hair & ordained. Having purified the divine eye while still a probationer, I know my previous lives, where I lived in the past. I develop the theme-less meditation, well-focused oneness. I gain the liberation of immediacy — from lack of clinging, unbound. <p style="text-align:center;">The five aggregates, comprehended, <p style="text-align:center;">stand like a tree with its root cut through. <p style="text-align:center;">I spit on old age. <p style="text-align:center;">There is now no further becoming.
