and old age, and sorrow, and lamentation, being a wise man, leave pain in this world.
(1055) 9. Mettagû: 'I delight in these words of the great Isi ; well expounded, O Gotama, is (by thee) freedom from upadhi (i. e. Nibbâna). Bhagavat in truth has left pain, for this Dhamma is well known to thee?
(1056) 10. “And those also will certainly leave pain whom thou, O Muni, constantly mayest admonish; therefore I bow down to thee, having come hither, O chief (nâga), may Bhagavat also admonish me constantly.'
(1057) 11. Buddha : ‘The Brâhmana whom I may acknowledge as accomplished, possessing nothing, not cleaving to the world of lust, he surely has crossed this stream, and he has crossed over to the other shore, free from harshness (akhila), (and) free from doubt.
(1058) 12. 'And he is a wise and accomplished man in this world; having abandoned this cleaving to reiterated existence he is without desire, free from woe, free from longing, he has crossed over birth and old age, so I say.'
(1059) Mettagumânavapukkhâ is ended.
