translated from the Pali by

If, by forsaking a limited ease, he would see an abundance of ease, the enlightened man would forsake the limited ease for the sake of the abundant.


291

He wants his own ease by giving others dis-ease. Intertwined in the inter- action of hostility, from hostility he's not set free.


292-293

In those who reject what should, & do what shouldn't be done — heedless, insolent — effluents grow.

But for those who are well-applied, constantly, to mindfulness

immersed in the body; don't indulge in what shouldn't be done & persist in what should — mindful, alert — effluents come to an end.


294-295

Having killed mother & father, two warrior kings, the kingdom

& its dependency — the brahman,

untroubled, travels on.

Having killed mother

& father, two learned kings, &, fifth, a tiger — the brahman,

untroubled, travels on.

both day & night, in developing the mind.


302

Hard is the life gone forth, hard to delight in. Hard is the miserable householder's life. It's painful to stay

with dissonant people, painful to travel the road. So be neither traveler nor pained.


303

The man of conviction endowed with virtue, glory, & wealth: wherever he goes he is honored.


304

The good shine from afar like the snowy Himalayas. The bad don't appear even when near, like arrows shot

into the night.


305

Sitting alone, resting alone, walking alone, untiring. Taming himself, he'd delight alone — alone in the forest.
