423*423:

He knows     his former lives.
He sees         heavens & states of woe,
has attained     the ending of birth,
is a sage     who has mastered full-knowing,
                his mastery totally mastered:
    he's what I call
    a brahman.

 



423: The forms of mastery listed in this verse correspond to the three knowledges that comprised the Buddha's Awakening: knowledge of previous lives, knowledge of how beings pass away and are reborn in the various levels of being, and knowledge of the ending of the effluents that maintain the process of birth.
