('â', In the world, the awakened are unexcelled!â" Notes 1. On the nine abodes of beings, see AN 9:24. 2. MN 53 identifies the seven true dhammas as conviction, shame, compunction, learning, persistence, mindfulness, and discernment. See also, AN 7:63. These seven dhammas should not be confused with the True Dhamma, the Buddhaâs teaching as a whole in its unadulterated form. 3. These treasures could be either the seven factors for awakening or the seven sets of qualities that constitute the wings to awakening. See SN 46:52 and AN 8:19. 4. The training in heightened virtue, heightened mind (concentration), and heightened discernment. See AN 3:87–88. 5. The ten-factored path of the arahant. See MN 117. 6. Usually nṅga denotes a great serpent or great elephant, but it can also mean a great human being. See AN 6:43. 7. See MN 125. See also: SN 1:25; AN 9:7–8; Iti 44 - --> - - - -
