    “सत्तहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो विनयधरो सोभति। कतमेहि सत्तहि? आपत्तिं जानाति, अनापत्तिं जानाति, लहुकं आपत्तिं जानाति, गरुकं आपत्तिं जानाति, अनेकविहितं पुब्बेनिवासं अनुस्सरति, सेय्यथिदं—एकम्पि जातिं, द्वेपि जातियो …पे… इति साकारं सौद्देसं अनेकविहितं पुब्बेनिवासं अनुस्सरति, दिब्बेन चक्खुना विसुद्धेन अतिक्कन्तमानुसकेन …पे… आसवानं खया …पे… सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, सत्तहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो विनयधरो सोभती”ति।

    “Sattahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato1 vinayadharo sobhati. Katamehi sattahi? Āpattiṁ jānāti, anāpattiṁ jānāti, lahukaṁ āpattiṁ jānāti, garukaṁ āpattiṁ jānāti, anekavihitaṁ pubbenivāsaṁ anussarati, seyyathidaṁ—ekampi jātiṁ, dvepi jātiyo …pe… iti sākāraṁ sauddesaṁ anekavihitaṁ pubbenivāsaṁ anussarati, dibbena cakkhunā visuddhena atikkantamānusakena …pe… āsavānaṁ khayā …pe… sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi dhammehi samannāgato vinayadharo sobhatī”ti.

    “Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu with seven qualities shines as an expert in the monastic law. What seven? They know what is an offense. They know what is not an offense. They know what is a light offense. They know what is a serious offense. They recollect their many kinds of past lives, with features and details. With clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, they understand how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds. They realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life, and live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements. A bhikkhu with these seven qualities shines as an expert in the monastic law.”
