Parivāra — 7. Ekuttarikanaya — 1. Ekakavāra

There are eleven dangers to be expected for people who abuse and revile.

There are eleven benefits to be expected for one who practices the liberation of mind through love, who develops, cultivates, and makes it a vehicle and basis, who keeps it up, accumulates, and properly implements it:

(1) you sleep well, (2) you wake up rested, and (3) you have no nightmares; (4) you are loved by humans and (5) spirits; (6) you are protected by the gods; (7) you cannot be harmed by fire, poison, or weapons; (8) your mind is quickly stilled; (9) your face is serene; (10) you die unconfused; and (11) if you do not go any further, you are reborn in the world of the supreme beings.”

The section on elevens is finished.

This is the summary:

“Should be expelled, and shoes,

And almsbowls, and robes;

Thirds, and should be asked about,

Determination, assigning to another.

Dawn, toggles, buckles,

And unallowable, allowable;

Formal support, and should not pay respect to,

‘At the most’, and favors;

And flaws in monastery zones, abuse,

With love—the elevens are done.”

The numerical method is finished.

This is the summary:

“The ones, and the twos,

And the threes, fours, and fives;

And the sixes, sevens, eights, and nines,

The tens, and the elevens.

For the welfare of all beings,

By the Unwavering One who knows the Teaching;

The stainless numerical method,

Was taught by the Great Hero.”

The numerical method is finished.
