[16] [9]

[1][bodh] Thus have I heard:

The Exalted One was once staying near Sāvatthī, at Jeta Grove, in Anāthapiṇḍika's Park.

Then the Exalted One addressed the brethren, saying:

"Brethren."

"Lord," responded those brethren to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

"I will show you a teaching, Brethren,
for the abandoning the all
by fully knowing,
by comprehending it.

Do ye listen to it.
