On the one occasion when I heard the following the Lord was staying at Rājagṛha, in the Haunt of the Kalandakas in the Bamboo Wood, together with a great assembly of five hundred all of whom were arhats, in whom the noxious influences (Skt. āsrava) were eliminated, who were free of the defilements (Skt. kleśa), had attained mastery, done their duty, performed their tasks, laid down their burden, obtained their own goal, destroyed the fetters of existence, whose minds were fully liberated by perfect understanding, who had attained the excellent supremacy of complete mastery over their minds, and obtained the eight emancipations--with the exception of one person, namely, the Venerable Ananda.
