Iti 67 · uttaka 67
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: “Monks, there are these three forms of sagacity. Which three? Bodily sagacity, verbal sagacity, mental sagacity. These are the three forms of sagacity.”
A sage in body, a sage in speech,
a sage in mind, effluent-free:
a sage consummate in sagacity
is said to be bathed of evil.
