One who has completed the journey is free of sorrow, fully liberated in all respects; He who has eliminated all fetters, [in him] no affliction can be found.

The mindful ones depart, they do not delight in a home; Like a swan having left a pond behind, they give up home after home.

For whom there is no accumulation, who have completely comprehended nourishment [wrt existence]; Whose field of activity is liberation, which is uninhabited and free of mental images; Like birds in the sky, their trajectory is hard to trace.

Whose defilements are completely exhausted, who is not dependent on nourishment; Whose field of activity is liberation, which is uninhabited and free of mental images; Like birds in the sky, their steps are hard to trace.

Whose senses have become tranquil, like horses well-tamed by a charioteer; Giving up conceit and free from defilements, even the gods hold dear such a person.

One who does not get disturbed, just like a solid rock, such a virtuous person, immovable as a city post; Like a lake cleansed of mud, such a person does not pass from one state of existence to another.

His mind is peaceful, and peaceful are his speech and actions; Of one fully liberated by perfect understanding, of the tranquil and unshakable one.

Who is not gullible and who knows the unborn, and who has severed connection [to continued existence]; One with no more opportunities, who has vomited up desires, Such a one is indeed the best of persons.

Whether in a village or in the forest, whether in a valley or on a hill; Wherever the awakened ones dwell, that place is pleasing.

Delightful are the forests, where no people delight; Those free from passion will delight there, not those who seeking sensual pleasures.
