[1] Thus have I heard:
On a certain occasion the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī.
Then the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
"Yes, lord," they replied, and the Exalted One said:
"Monks, there are these four powers.
What four?
The power of faith,
of energy,
of innocence,[1]
of collectedness."[2]
[1] Anavajja = niddosa. Comy.
[2] Sangāha. Comy., however, appears to take it as from sangaṇhana (showing kindness).
