Dhammapada, Dhamma Verses (KN 2)

7: The Chapter about the Arahats – 48
Yassāsavā parikkhīṇā, āhāre ca anissito,
For him whose pollutants are destroyed, who is not dependent on the foods, 1
suññato animitto ca vimokkho yassa gocaro,
for him whose resort is the liberation that is empty or signless,
ākāse va sakuntānaṁ, padaṁ tassa durannayaṁ. [93]
like the birds in the sky, his footprint 2 is hard to find.
Yassindriyāni samathaṁ gatāni,
For the one whose senses are stilled,
assā yathā sārathinā sudantā,
like horses well-trained by their charioteer,
pahīnamānassa anāsavassa –
who has abandoned conceit, who is without pollutants –
devā pi tassa pihayanti tādino. [94]
even the gods envy such a one.
Paṭhavisamo no virujjhati,
One untroubled just like the earth,
indakhīlūpamŏ tādi subbato,
steadfast just like a city-post,
r a hado va apetakaddamo –
like a lake mud-free –
saṁsārā na bhavanti tādino. [95]
such a one continues not in births and deaths.
Santaṁ tassa manaṁ hoti, santā vācā ca kamma’ ca,
His mind is calm, his speech and his actions are also calm,
sammad-aññāvimuttassa, upasantassa tādino. [96]
liberated by right knowledge, such a one is (truly) peaceful.
1 The commentary says it means the foods of craving and views.
2
Pada may mean his footprint or his state; again it means that they cannot be known either in this
world, or when gone beyond
