The Peacefulness of Sāriputta

So I have heard.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
Now at that time Venerable Sāriputta was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, with his body straight, reviewing his own peacefulness.
The Buddha saw him meditating there.
Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:
“With mind at peace, so full of peace,
for a mendicant who has cut the cord,
transmigration through births is finished:
they’re freed from Māra’s bonds.”
