[64]

[1][bodh] THUS have I heard:

Once the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī.

Then the Exalted One addressed the monks,
saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," replied those monks to the Exalted One.

The Exalted One said:

"Monks, these seven limbs of wisdom,
not having yet arisen,
if cultivated and made much of,
do arise,
but not without [65] the rule of the Happy One.

What seven?

The limb of wisdom that is mindfulness,
the limb of wisdom that is Norm investigation,
the limb of wisdom that is energy,
the limb of wisdom that is zest,
the limb of wisdom that is tranquillity,
the limb of wisdom that is concentration,
the limb of wisdom that is equinimity.

These seven limbs of wisdom, monks
not having yet arisen,
if cultivated and made much of,
do arise,
but not without the manifestation of a Tathāgata,
an Arahant,
a fully enlightened one.
