24: The Chapter about Craving – 129<br />
Taṇhāya jāyatī soko, taṇhāya jāyatī bhayaṁ,<br />
From craving there arises grief, from craving there arises fear,<br />
taṇhāya vippamuttassa natthi soko, kuto bhayaṁ? [216]<br />
for one who is free from craving there is no grief, how is there fear?<br />
Natthi rāgasamo aggi, natthi dosasamo gaho,<br />
There is no fire that is like passion, there is nothing that takes a hold like hatred,<br />
natthi mohasamaṁ jālaṁ, natthi taṇhāsamā nadī. [251]<br />
there is no snare like delusion, there is no flood like craving.<br />
Yodha taṇhaṁ pahatvāna, anāgāro paribbaje,<br />
Whoever, giving up craving, would wander homeless here,<br />
taṇhābhavaparikkhīṇaṁ, tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ. [416]<br />
