  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty six. The Bromina ar hat stop the stream,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: valiantly drive away the desires, O Bramena. When you have
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: understood the destruction of all that was made, you will
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: understand that which was not made. If the Bromina has
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: reached the other shore in both laws, in restraint and contemplation,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: all bonds vanish from him who has obtained knowledge, He
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for whom there is neither this nor that shore, nor both.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Him the fearless and unshackled, I call indeed a Bromina.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: He who is thoughtful, blameless, settled, dutiful, without passions, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: who has attained the highest end him, I call indeed
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a Bromena. The sun is bright by day, the moon
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: shines by night. The warrior is bright in his armor.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The bramina is bright in his meditation. But Buddha, the awakened,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: is bright with splendor day and night. Because a man
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: is rid of evil, therefore he is called Bromena. Because
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: he walks quietly, therefore he is called Samana. Because he
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: has sent away his own impurities. Therefore he is called
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Provreghita parbagita, a pilgrim. No one should attack a Bramena,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: but no bromina, if attacked, should let himself fly at
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: his aggressor. Woe to him who strikes a bromina. More
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: woe to him who flies at his aggressor. It advantages
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a bromina not a little if he holds his mind
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: back from the pleasures of life. When all wish to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: injure has vanished, pain will cease. Herem I call indeed
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a bromina who does not offend by body, word or thought,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and is controlled on these three points. After a man
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: has once understood the law as taught by the well
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: awakened Buddha, let him worship it carefully as the bromina
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: worships the sacrificial fire. A man does not become a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: bromina by his platted hair, by his family, or by
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: birth in whom there is truth and righteousness. He is blessed.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: He is a bromina. What is the use of plaited hair,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: O fool? What of the raiment of goat skins? Within
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: thee there is ravening, but the outside thou makest clean.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: The man who wears dirty raiments, who is emaciated and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: covered with veins, who lives alone in the forest and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: meditates him I call indeed a Bromena. I do not
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: call a man a bromena because of his origin or
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of his mother. He is indeed arrogant, and he is wealthy.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But the poor, who is free from all attachments him
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I call indeed a Bromena. Here, my colndide, a bromena,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: who has cut all fetters, who never trembles, is independent
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and unshackled. Here my collindide a bromena who has cut
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the strap and the thong, the chain withal that pertains
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to it, who has burst the bar and is awakened him.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I call indide a bromena, who, though he has committed
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: no offense, endures reproach, bonds and stripes, who has endurance
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: for his force and strength for his army. Him I
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: call indide a bromena, who is free from anger, dutiful, virtuous,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: without appetite, who is subdued and has received his last body.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Him I call indeed a bromena who does not cling
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to pleasures like water on a lotus leaf, like a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: mustard seed on the point of a needle. Him, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: call indeed a bromina, who even here knows the end
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of his suffering, has put down his burden and is
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: unshackled him. I call indeed a Bramina whose knowledge is deep,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: who possesses wisdom, who knows the right way and the wrong,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and has attained the highest end Him. I call indeed
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a Bramena who keeps aloof both from laymen and from mendicants,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: who frequents no houses and has but few desires. Him.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I call indeed a Bromena who finds no fault with
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: other beings, whether feeble or strong, and does not kill
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: nor call slaughter him. I call indeed a Bromina who
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is tolerant with the intolerant, mild with fault finders, and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: free from passion among the passionate Him. I call indeede
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: a Bromena from whom anger and hatred, pride and envy
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: have dropped like a mustard seed from the point of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a needle. Him. I call Indide a Bromena who utters
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: true speech, instructive, and free from harshness, so that he
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: offend no one. Him. I call indie de Bromena, who
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: takes nothing in the world that is not given him,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be it long or short, small or large, good or bad. Him.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I call indeed a Bromena, who fosters no desires for
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: this world or for the next, has no inclinations, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: is unshackled. Him I call indeed a Bromena who has
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: no interests, and, when he has understood the truth, does
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: not say how how, And who has reached the depth
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of the immortal Him. I call indeed a Bromena, who
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in this world is above good and evil, above the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: bondage of both, free from grief, from sin, and from impurity.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Him I call indeed a Bromenau, who is bright like
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the moon, pure serene, undisturbed, and in whom all gaiety
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is extinct. Him I call indeed a Bromenna who has
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: traversed this mirey road, the impassable world and its vanity,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: who has gone through and reached the other shore, is thoughtful, guileless,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: free from doubts, free from attachment and content Him I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: call indeed a Bromena, who, in this world, leaving all desires,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: travels about without a home, and in whom all concupiscence
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: is extinct. Him I call indeed a Bromena, who, leaving
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: all longings, travels about without a home, and in whom
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: all covetousness is extinct. Him, I call indeed a Bromena, who,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: after leaving all bondage to men, has risen above all
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: bondage to the gods, and is free from all and
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: every bondage. Here my call, indeed, a Bromena who has
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: left what gives pleasure and what gives pain, who is
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: cold and free from all germs of renewed life, the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: hero who has conquered all the world's Here my call indeed,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a Bromina who knows the destruction and the return of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: beings everywhere, who is free from bondage, welfaring Sugata and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: awakened Buddha. Here my call indeed, a Bromina whose path
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the gods do not know, nor spirits gandavas, nor men,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: whose passions are extinct, and who is an ahat venerable him,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I call indeed a Bromina who calls nothing his own,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: whether it be before, behind or between, who is poor
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and free from the love of the world. Him, I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: call indeed a Bromina the manly, the noble, the hero,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the great sage, the conqueror, the impossible, the accomplished, the awakened.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Him I call indeed a Bromena who knows his former abodes,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: who sees heaven and hell, has reached the end of birth,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: is perfect in knowledge, a sage and whose perfections are
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: all perfect. End of Chapter twenty six and end of
