Responded Royal Minister Taitaliputra thus to the query of demi-
goddess Pottita :
‘Yau cught to admit Pottila that there is only one escape for opp-
ressed man and thatis initiation into an anchorite career. A convict can
escape through suicide. A fatiqued traveller can dream of a vehicle. A
sinister being maypreserve a secret. One suffering from wanderlust may
leave on voyages. A hunary andthirsty being may win viands and bever-
ages. A triumphant warrior maytrounce enemies, However, an austere
anchorite is free fromall possible mishaps.

This is the means, then, for anaspirantto attain purity, enlighten-
ment, emancipation,piety, abstinence and non-attachment. Such a being
is freedof the chain of reinearnations.
Thus, ! Taitaliputra, the seer, do pronounce.
