•Thus have I heard... (a common opening of Buddhist texts)
Etimoloji
Calque of Sanskrit एवं मया श्रुतम् (evaṃ mayā śrutam). The syntax of this translation directly reflects the original Sanskrit as opposed to the lesser-used 我聞如是／我闻如是 (wǒwénrúshì). The "I" in the translation generally refers to the Buddha's cousin Ānanda 阿難／阿难 (Ānán), renowned for having the best memory among the Buddha's disciples.
