Ex. 1 (Part 9 of 13)
Yaavakiivañca me, bhikkhave, imesu catuusu
ariyasaccesu eva.m tipariva.t.ta.m dvaadasaakaara.m

So long as, monks, my knowledge and vision just as it
is of these four noble truths was not well-purified,
in three rounds and twelve ways thus, then, monks, I
did not claim, in this world with its devas, Mara, and
Brahma, in this generation with its recluses and
Brahmins, devas and humans: I have completely
realized unsurpassed perfect enlightenment.

And since, monks, my knowledge and vision just as it
is of these four noble truths was indeed
well-purified, in three rounds and twelve ways thus,
then, monks, I did claim, in this world with its
devas, Mara, and Brahma, in this generation with its
recluses and Brahmins, devas and humans: I have
completely realized unsurpassed perfect
enlightenment.
