upon which one looks upon anything else as bad. Therefore let a Bhikkhu not depend upon what is seen, heard, or thought, or upon virtue and (holy) works?
(798) 4. Let him not form any (philosophical) view in this world, either by knowledge or by virtue and (holy) works, let him not represent himself equal (to others), nor think himself either low or distinguished.
(799) 5. Having left what has been grasped, not seizing upon anything he does not depend even on knowledge. He does not associate with those that are taken up by different things, he does not return to any (philosophical) view ?
(800) 6. For whom there is here no desire for both ends, for reiterated existence either here or in another world, for him there are no resting-places (of the mind) embraced after investigation amongst the doctrines (dhammesu) 3.
(801) 7. In him there is not the least prejudiced idea with regard to what has been seen, heard, or thought; how could any one in this world alter such a Brâhmana who does not adopt any view ?
(802)
1 Tam vâpi gantham kusalâ vadanti
Yam nissito passati hînam aññam, Tasmâ hi dittham va sutam mutam vâ Sîlabbatam bhikkhu na nissayeyya. • Attam pahâya anupâdiyâno
Ñâne pi so nissayam no karoti, Sa ve viyattesu na vaggasârî,
Ditthim pi so na pakketi kinki. : Yass' abhayante panidhîdha n'atthi
Bhavabhavâya idha vâ huram vâ Nivesanâ tassa na santi keki Dhammesu nikkheyya samuggahîtâ.
