  Chapter twenty six. The Bromina ar hat stop the stream, valiantly drive away
• 0:10
  the desires, O Bramena. When you have understood the destruction of all that
• 0:17
  was made, you will understand that which was not made. If the Bromina
• 0:24
  has reached the other shore in both laws, in restraint and contemplation, all
• 0:31
  bonds vanish from him who has obtained knowledge, He for whom there is neither
• 0:39
  this nor that shore, nor both. Him the fearless and unshackled, I
• 0:48
  call indeed a Bromina. He who is thoughtful, blameless, settled, dutiful,
• 0:58
  without passions, and who has attained the highest end him, I call
• 1:03
  indeed a Bromena. The sun is bright by day, the moon shines by
• 1:11
  night. The warrior is bright in his armor. The bramina is bright in
• 1:19
  his meditation. But Buddha, the awakened, is bright with splendor day and
• 1:26
  night. Because a man is rid of evil, therefore he is called Bromena.
• 1:34
  Because he walks quietly, therefore he is called Samana. Because he has
• 1:42
  sent away his own impurities. Therefore he is called Provreghita parbagita, a pilgrim.
• 1:53
  No one should attack a Bramena, but no bromina, if attacked,
• 1:59
  should let himself fly at his aggressor. Woe to him who strikes a bromina.
• 2:06
  More woe to him who flies at his aggressor. It advantages a bromina
• 2:14
  not a little if he holds his mind back from the pleasures of life.
• 2:21
  When all wish to injure has vanished, pain will cease. Herem I call
• 2:28
  indeed a bromina who does not offend by body, word or thought, and
• 2:35
  is controlled on these three points. After a man has once understood the law
• 2:44
  as taught by the well awakened Buddha, let him worship it carefully as the
• 2:50
  bromina worships the sacrificial fire. A man does not become a bromina by his
• 2:58
  platted hair, by his family, or by birth in whom there is truth
• 3:05
  and righteousness. He is blessed. He is a bromina. What is the
• 3:12
  use of plaited hair, O fool? What of the raiment of goat skins?
• 3:17
  Within thee there is ravening, but the outside thou makest clean. The
• 3:25
  man who wears dirty raiments, who is emaciated and covered with veins, who
• 3:32
  lives alone in the forest and meditates him I call indeed a Bromena. I
• 3:40
  do not call a man a bromena because of his origin or of his mother.
• 3:46
  He is indeed arrogant, and he is wealthy. But the poor,
• 3:53
  who is free from all attachments him I call indeed a Bromena. Here,
• 4:00
  my colndide, a bromena, who has cut all fetters, who never trembles,
• 4:06
  is independent and unshackled. Here my collindide a bromena who has cut the
• 4:15
  strap and the thong, the chain withal that pertains to it, who has
• 4:20
  burst the bar and is awakened him. I call indide a bromena, who,
• 4:29
  though he has committed no offense, endures reproach, bonds and stripes,
• 4:35
  who has endurance for his force and strength for his army. Him I call
• 4:44
  indide a bromena, who is free from anger, dutiful, virtuous, without
• 4:50
  appetite, who is subdued and has received his last body. Him I call
• 5:00
  indeed a bromena who does not cling to pleasures like water on a lotus leaf,
• 5:08
  like a mustard seed on the point of a needle. Him, I
• 5:13
  call indeed a bromina, who even here knows the end of his suffering,
• 5:19
  has put down his burden and is unshackled him. I call indeed a Bramina
• 5:27
  whose knowledge is deep, who possesses wisdom, who knows the right way and
• 5:32
  the wrong, and has attained the highest end Him. I call indeed a
• 5:41
  Bramena who keeps aloof both from laymen and from mendicants, who frequents no houses
• 5:48
  and has but few desires. Him. I call indeed a Bromena who finds
• 5:56
  no fault with other beings, whether feeble or strong, and does not kill
• 6:02
  nor call slaughter him. I call indeed a Bromina who is tolerant with the
• 6:11
  intolerant, mild with fault finders, and free from passion among the passionate Him.
• 6:20
  I call indeede a Bromena from whom anger and hatred, pride and envy
• 6:28
  have dropped like a mustard seed from the point of a needle. Him.
• 6:34
  I call Indide a Bromena who utters true speech, instructive, and free from
• 6:42
  harshness, so that he offend no one. Him. I call indie de
• 6:48
  Bromena, who takes nothing in the world that is not given him, be
• 6:55
  it long or short, small or large, good or bad. Him.
• 7:02
  I call indeed a Bromena, who fosters no desires for this world or for
• 7:09
  the next, has no inclinations, and is unshackled. Him I call indeed
• 7:16
  a Bromena who has no interests, and, when he has understood the truth,
• 7:23
  does not say how how, And who has reached the depth of the
• 7:29
  immortal Him. I call indeed a Bromena, who in this world is above
• 7:35
  good and evil, above the bondage of both, free from grief, from
• 7:43
  sin, and from impurity. Him I call indeed a Bromenau, who is
• 7:49
  bright like the moon, pure serene, undisturbed, and in whom all gaiety
• 7:58
  is extinct. Him I call indeed a Bromenna who has traversed this mirey road,
• 8:07
  the impassable world and its vanity, who has gone through and reached the
• 8:11
  other shore, is thoughtful, guileless, free from doubts, free from attachment
• 8:20
  and content Him I call indeed a Bromena, who, in this world,
• 8:28
  leaving all desires, travels about without a home, and in whom all concupiscence
• 8:35
  is extinct. Him I call indeed a Bromena, who, leaving all longings,
• 8:43
  travels about without a home, and in whom all covetousness is extinct.
• 8:50
  Him, I call indeed a Bromena, who, after leaving all bondage to
• 8:56
  men, has risen above all bondage to the gods, and is free from
• 9:03
  all and every bondage. Here my call, indeed, a Bromena who has
• 9:09
  left what gives pleasure and what gives pain, who is cold and free from
• 9:16
  all germs of renewed life, the hero who has conquered all the world's Here
• 9:26
  my call indeed, a Bromina who knows the destruction and the return of beings
• 9:33
  everywhere, who is free from bondage, welfaring Sugata and awakened Buddha. Here
• 9:43
  my call indeed, a Bromina whose path the gods do not know, nor
• 9:50
  spirits gandavas, nor men, whose passions are extinct, and who is an
• 9:58
  ahat venerable him, I call indeed a Bromina who calls nothing his own,
• 10:07
  whether it be before, behind or between, who is poor and free from
• 10:15
  the love of the world. Him, I call indeed a Bromina the manly,
• 10:22
  the noble, the hero, the great sage, the conqueror, the
• 10:28
  impossible, the accomplished, the awakened. Him I call indeed a Bromena who
• 10:39
  knows his former abodes, who sees heaven and hell, has reached the end
• 10:45
  of birth, is perfect in knowledge, a sage and whose perfections are all
• 10:52
  perfect. End of Chapter twenty six and end of the Damapoda, translated by
