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