“Among my foremost disciple Bhikshus,
Revata the Doubt-Free maintains unwavering concentration in meditation under trees.
Vakkali endures exposure to wind and rain in austere practice.
Tathaalika delights in solitary contemplation.
Nipaka wears simple patched robes without adornment.
Uttara prefers dwelling in charnel grounds over human habitation.
Rohitaka constantly sits on grass mats while blessing others daily.
Upatishya walks with eyes downcast, abstaining from speech.
Shaanti remains in constant samadhi whether sitting or moving.
Dharmaruci travels afar to teach the Dharma.
Kaala delights in gathering the noble assembly to discuss the Dharma’s essence.”
