Udāna — Exclamações — 5.7 — With Revata the Doubter

1So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Now at that time Venerable Revata the Doubter was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, with his body straight, reviewing his own purification by traversing doubt.

2The Buddha saw him meditating there.

3Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:

4“Any doubts about this life or the next,
about one’s own experiences or those of another:
those who meditate give them all up,
keenly practicing the spiritual life.”
