The Chapter of the Ganges Consecutive Repetitions

1-12.

The Discourse on the Ganges River and so on

258-269. "Just as, monks, the river Ganges slants towards the east, slopes towards the east, inclines towards the east; so too, monks, a monk developing the seven factors of enlightenment, cultivating the seven factors of enlightenment, slants towards Nibbāna, slopes towards Nibbāna, inclines towards Nibbāna. And how, monks, does a monk developing the seven factors of enlightenment, cultivating the seven factors of enlightenment, slant towards Nibbāna, slope towards Nibbāna, incline towards Nibbāna? Here, monks, a monk develops the enlightenment factor of mindfulness, etc. he develops the enlightenment factor of equanimity, based upon seclusion, based upon dispassion, based upon cessation, maturing in release, etc. Thus, monks, a monk developing the seven factors of enlightenment, cultivating the seven factors of enlightenment, slants towards Nibbāna, slopes towards Nibbāna, inclines towards Nibbāna."

The Ganges Repetition Chapter is the ninth.

Its summary:

Six slanting from the east, and six slanting towards the ocean;

These two sixes are twelve, by that the chapter is called.
