Ia mengingat: ‘Di sana aku bernama demikian, berasal dari keluarga demikian, berpenampilan demikian, makanan demikian, mengalami suka dan duka demikian, dan berakhir usia demikian. Setelah meninggal dari sana, aku terlahir di tempat lain. Di sana pun aku bernama demikian, berasal dari keluarga demikian, berpenampilan demikian, makanan demikian, mengalami suka dan duka demikian, dan berakhir usia demikian. Setelah meninggal dari sana, aku terlahir di sini.’ Demikianlah ia mengingat berbagai kehidupan lampaunya beserta ciri-ciri dan perinciannya.
They recollect many kinds of past lives. That is: one, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand rebirths; many eons of the world contracting, many eons of the world expanding, many eons of the world contracting and expanding. They remember: ‘There, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn somewhere else. There, too, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn here.’ And so they recollect their many kinds of past lives, with features and details.

Ignorance is banished and knowledge has arisen; darkness is banished and light has arisen, as happens for a meditator who is diligent, keen, and resolute.
