[¶0] Dhp 90

> Pali: Dhp 90 · Jīvakapañhavatthu

[¶1] At journey’s end, rid of sorrow;
everywhere free,
all ties given up,
no fever is found in them.

> Pali: Gataddhino visokassa,
vippamuttassa sabbadhi;
Sabbaganthappahīnassa,
pariḷāho na vijjati.

[¶2] Dhp 91

> Pali: Dhp 91 · Mahākassapattheravatthu

[¶3] The mindful apply themselves;
they delight in no abode.
Like a swan gone from the marsh,
they leave home after home behind.

> Pali: Uyyuñjanti satīmanto,
na nikete ramanti te;
Haṁsāva pallalaṁ hitvā,
okamokaṁ jahanti te.

[¶4] Dhp 92

> Pali: Dhp 92 · Belaṭṭhasīsattheravatthu

[¶5] Those with nothing stored up,
who have understood their food,
whose domain is the liberation
of the signless and the empty:
their path is hard to trace,
like birds in the sky.

> Pali: Yesaṁ sannicayo natthi,
ye pariññātabhojanā;
Suññato animitto ca,
vimokkho yesaṁ gocaro;
Ākāseva sakuntānaṁ,
gati tesaṁ durannayā.

[¶6] Dhp 93

> Pali: Dhp 93 · Anuruddhattheravatthu

[¶7] One whose defilements have ended;
who’s not attached to food;
whose domain is the liberation
of the signless and the empty:
their track is hard to trace,
like birds in the sky.

> Pali: Yassāsavā parikkhīṇā,
āhāre ca anissito;
Suññato animitto ca,
vimokkho yassa gocaro;
Ākāseva sakuntānaṁ,
padaṁ tassa durannayaṁ.

[¶8] Dhp 94

> Pali: Dhp 94 · Mahākaccāyanattheravatthu

[¶9] Whose faculties have become serene,
like horses tamed by a charioteer,
who has abandoned conceit and defilements;
the unaffected one is envied by even the gods.

> Pali: Yassindriyāni samathaṅgatāni,
Assā yathā sārathinā sudantā;
Pahīnamānassa anāsavassa,
Devāpi tassa pihayanti tādino.

[¶10] Dhp 95

> Pali: Dhp 95 · Sāriputtattheravatthu

[¶11] Undisturbed like the earth,
true to their vows, steady as Indra’s pillar,
like a lake clear of mud;
such a one does not transmigrate.

> Pali: Pathavisamo no virujjhati,
Indakhilupamo tādi subbato;
Rahadova apetakaddamo,
Saṁsārā na bhavanti tādino.

[¶12] Dhp 96

> Pali: Dhp 96 · Kosambivāsitissattherasāmaṇeravatthu

[¶13] Their mind is peaceful,
peaceful are their speech and deeds.
Such a one is at peace,
rightly freed through enlightenment.

> Pali: Santaṁ tassa manaṁ hoti,
santā vācā ca kamma ca;
Sammadaññāvimuttassa,
upasantassa tādino.

[¶14] Dhp 97

> Pali: Dhp 97 · Sāriputtattheravatthu

[¶15] Lacking faith, a house-breaker,
one who acknowledges nothing,
purged of hope, they’ve wasted their chance:
that is indeed the supreme person!

> Pali: Assaddho akataññū ca,
sandhicchedo ca yo naro;
Hatāvakāso vantāso,
sa ve uttamaporiso.

[¶16] Dhp 98

> Pali: Dhp 98 · Khadiravaniyarevatattheravatthu

[¶17] Whether in village or wilderness,
in a valley or the uplands,
wherever the perfected ones live
is a delightful place.

> Pali: Gāme vā yadi vāraññe,
Ninne vā yadi vā thale;
Yattha arahanto viharanti,
Taṁ bhūmirāmaṇeyyakaṁ.

[¶18] Dhp 99

> Pali: Dhp 99 · Aññataraitthivatthu

[¶19] Delightful are the wildernesses
where no people delight.
Those free of greed will delight there,
not those who seek sensual pleasures.

> Pali: Ramaṇīyāni araññāni,
yattha na ramatī jano;
Vītarāgā ramissanti,
na te kāmagavesino.

[¶20] > Pali: Arahantavaggo sattamo.
