A Trainee Bhikkhuni
Pāpasāmaṇerī (SN 19.21)
1. At one time the Blessed One was living in the squirrels' sanctuary in the bamboo grove in Rajagaha.
2. At that time venerable Lakkhaṇa and venerable Mahāmoggallāna were living in the peaks of the Gijjha rock.
3. Venerable Mahāmoggallāna wearing robes in the morning and taking bowl and robes approached venerable Lakkhaṇa.
4. Approaching said to venerable Lakkhaṇa: “Friend, Lakkhaṇa let us enter Rajagaha for alms.” Venerable Lakkhaṇa said: “Yes friend.”
5. Venerable Mahāmoggallāna while descending from the Gijjha peak, smiled at a certain spot.
6. Then venerable Lakkhaṇa said to venerable Mahāmoggallāna: “Friend, Moggallāna, for what reasson did you smile?”
“Friend, Lakkhaṇa, this is not the right time to ask that question. Ask that question in the presence of the Blessed One.”
7. Then venerable Lakkhaṇa and venerable Mahāmoggallāna went the alms round in Rajagaha. After partaking the meal and returning from the alms round approached the Blessed One, worshipped and sat on a side.
8. Sitting on a side venerable Lakkhaṇa said to venerable Mahāmoggallāna: “Friend Moggallāna, when descending from the Gijjha peak you smiled at a certain spot, for what reason did you smile?”
9. “Friend, when I was descending the Gijjha peak, I saw a trainee bhikkhuni moving in space. Her double lined robe was blazing, bowl was blazing belt was blazing and her body too was blazing and she gives a cry of distress.
10. “Friend, then it occurred to me: `Indeed it is wonderful and surprising to see a being, a non-human, a gain of self like this.”'
11. Then the Blessed One addressed the monks: “Monks, the disciple should live wisely with aroused knowledge, when he knows, sees or witnesses such a thing.
12. “Monks, in the past I saw this being, yet I did not tell it to anyone. If I had told, others would not believe me and it would be for their ill being and unpleasantness for a long time.
13. “Monks, this trainee bhikkhuni led an evil life during the dispensation of the Blessed One Kassapa. As a result of that action she suffered in hell for many years, for many hundreds of years, for many thousands of years, for many hundred thousands of years. And as a result of that action suffers having gained that self.”
