Gataddhino visokassa,
vippamuttassa sabbadhi;
Sabbaganthappahīnassa,
pariḷāho na vijjati.
For one who has completed the journey, who is sorrow-free,
fully liberated in all respects;
who has abandoned all bonds—
in such a one, no fever is found.
91
Uyyuñjanti satīmanto,
na nikete ramanti te;
Haṁsāva pallalaṁ hitvā,
okamokaṁ jahanti te.
The mindful ones depart,
they do not delight in a home;
like swans leaving a pond behind,
they give up home after home.
92
Yesaṁ sannicayo natthi,
ye pariññātabhojanā;
Suññato animitto ca,
vimokkho yesaṁ gocaro;
Ākāseva sakuntānaṁ,
gati tesaṁ durannayā.
Those who accumulate nothing,
who completely comprehend nutriment;
whose field of activity is liberation—
empty and free of signs;
like birds in the sky,
their path is hard to trace.
93
Yassāsavā parikkhīṇā,
āhāre ca anissito;
Suññato animitto ca,
vimokkho yassa gocaro;
Ākāseva sakuntānaṁ,
padaṁ tassa durannayaṁ.
One whose taints are completely exhausted,
who is not dependent on nourishment;
whose field of activity is liberation—
empty and free of signs;
like birds in the sky,
their steps are hard to trace.
94
Yassindriyāni samathaṅgatāni,
Assā yathā sārathinā sudantā;
Pahīnamānassa anāsavassa,
Devāpi tassa pihayanti tādino.
One whose senses have become tranquil,
like horses well-tamed by a charioteer;
who has dispelled conceit and is free from taints—
even the gods covet such a steadfast person.
95
Pathavisamo no virujjhati,
Indakhilupamo tādi subbato;
Rahadova apetakaddamo,
Saṁsārā na bhavanti tādino.
Like the earth, such a one is undisturbed,
virtuous and firm as a city post;
like a lake cleansed of mud—
for such a one, cyclic existence is no more.
96
Santaṁ tassa manaṁ hoti,
santā vācā ca kamma ca;
Sammadaññāvimuttassa,
upasantassa tādino.
Calm is the mind,
calm are the words and deeds;
of one liberated by true understanding,
perfectly tranquil and steadfast.
97
Assaddho akataññū ca,
sandhicchedo ca yo naro;
Hatāvakāso vantāso,
sa ve uttamaporiso.
One who is beyond mere faith, who knows the unborn,
who has severed connection [to the cycle of existence];
who has destroyed the opportunity, given up all wants—
such a one is indeed the best of persons.
98
Gāme vā yadi vāraññe,
Ninne vā yadi vā thale;
Yattha arahanto viharanti,
Taṁ bhūmirāmaṇeyyakaṁ.
Whether in a village or in the forest,
whether on lowlands or on highlands;
wherever the awakened ones dwell,
that place is truly delightful.
99
Ramaṇīyāni araññāni,
yattha na ramatī jano;
Vītarāgā ramissanti,
na te kāmagavesino.
Delightful are the forests,
where the worldly find no delight;
those free from passion will delight there,
for they do not seek sensual pleasures.
