Verses of the Senior Monks 2.6 · The Book of the Twos

When I heard the Teacher

speaking Dhamma,

I wasn’t aware of any doubt

in the all-knowing, unconquered one,

the caravan leader, the great hero,

the most excellent of charioteers.

I have no doubt

in the path or practice.

[1] Bodhi: The commentary explains that the Buddha gave this discourse to cut through the conceit that arose in the five monks because of their arahantship.

[2] Bodhi: The commentary explains that the word "all" (sabba) is used here in a limited sense: that is, it denotes "all that is included in personal identity" (sakkaa-sabba), that is, all states or phenomena (dhamma) included in the five aggregates subject to clinging (khandha) (see MN 28). Supramundane states - paths, fruits, and nibbana - are not included here.

[3] Bodhi: Assutama puthujjana is an ordinary person who has no knowledge of the Dhamma. There are no noble attainments in the Dhamma. The mind is dominated by many defilements and wrong views.
