मुनिः ।
Sage. वंदिजमाणा न समुक्कसंति हीलिज्जमाणा न समुज्जलंति । दंतेण चित्तेण चरति धीरा मुणी समुदाइअ-राग-दोसा ॥१६५॥ वन्द्यमाना न समुत्कर्षन्ति हेल्यमाना न समुज्ज्वलन्ति । दान्तेन चित्तेन चरन्ति धीरा मुनयः समुद्धातितरागद्वेषाः ॥१६५॥
Ascetics, who have their worldly affection and malice uprooted, are not elated when saluted nor enraged when insulted but conduct themselves with serenity by reason of a subdued mind.
बालाभिरामेसु दुहावहेसु न तं सुहं काम- गणेसु राया ! | विरत्त-कामाण तवो-धणाणं जं भिक्खुणो सील-गुणे रयाणं ॥ १६६ ॥ बालाभिरामेषु दुःखावहेषु न तं सुखं कामगणेषु राजन् ! | विरक्तकामानां तपोधनानां यद्भिक्षूणां शीलगुणे रतानाम् ॥ १६६॥
Oh king the happiness, that is met with among anchorites (lit: beggars) who have taken an aversion to sensual pleasures, whose sole wealth is austerity and who are engaged in the practice of the virtue of continence, is something immeasurably superior to the pleasure that is derived from the gratification of the passions appearing pleasing to youths but bringing sufferings in the end.
