The Buddha has no lapse of mindfulness.—There is no failure of mindfulness. Indeed, during the long night he developed the mind of the four foundations of mindfulness, he developed the profound concentrations, his mind was without any distractions (avikṣipta), he eliminated the thirst of desires and joy of the dharma, his mind was not attached to any dharma and he attained the supreme safety of mind. If the mind is fearful or hasty, there are lapses of mindfulness; but the mind of the Buddha has none of these faults: this is why is he has no lapses. [...]”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
