Atthesā, bhikkhave, anussati; nesā natthīti vadāmi.   There is such recollection, I don’t deny it.

Yampidaṁ pubbenivāsānussatiṁ yathābhūtaṁ ñāṇaṁ tampi samāhitassa vadāmi no asamāhitassa.  
And true knowledge of the recollection of past lives is for those with immersion, not for those without immersion.  

Buddhānussati, dhammānussati, saṅghānussati, sīlānussati, cāgānussati, devatānussati.   The recollection of the Buddha, the teaching, the Saṅgha, ethics, generosity, and the deities.  

So evaṁ samāhite citte parisuddhe pariyodāte anaṅgaṇe vigatūpakkilese mudubhūte kammaniye ṭhite āneñjappatte pubbenivāsānussatiñāṇāya cittaṁ abhininnāmesiṁ.   When my mind had immersed in samādhi like this—purified, bright, flawless, rid of corruptions, pliable, workable, steady, and imperturbable—I extended it toward recollection of past lives.
