Dhp 90

Dhp 90 · Jīvakapañhavatthu

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

Gataddhino visokassa,vippamuttassa sabbadhi;Sabbaganthappahīnassa,pariḷāho na vijjati.

Dhp 91

Dhp 91 · Mahākassapattheravatthu

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

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

Dhp 92

Dhp 92 · Belaṭṭhasīsattheravatthu

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

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

Dhp 93

Dhp 93 · Anuruddhattheravatthu

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

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

Dhp 94

Dhp 94 · Mahākaccāyanattheravatthu

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.

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

Dhp 95

Dhp 95 · Sāriputtattheravatthu

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.

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

Dhp 96

Dhp 96 · Kosambivāsitissattherasāmaṇeravatthu

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

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

Dhp 97

Dhp 97 · Sāriputtattheravatthu

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

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

Dhp 98

Dhp 98 · Khadiravaniyarevatattheravatthu

Whether in village or wilderness,in a valley or the uplands,wherever the perfected ones liveis a delightful place.

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

Dhp 99

Dhp 99 · Aññataraitthivatthu

Delightful are the wildernesseswhere no people delight.Those free of greed will delight there,not those who seek sensual pleasures.

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

Arahantavaggo sattamo.
