Since the Lord is endowed with the eighteen special qualities of the Buddha (aṣṭāveṇika-buddhadharma-samanvāgata), he has the unattached knowledge of the three times (trikāla). Since the Lord has purified his body, speech, and mind, he has neither error (skhalita) nor rough speech (ravita), and sees every concentration (samāpatti) and the knowledge of liberation. [...]’”.
