Sutta 155

Catuttha Bala Suttaṃ

Computation

 


[145]

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 computation,1
of cultivation,
of innocence,
of collectedness."
