seeing, who thoroughly understands the world, has overcome all existences, is free from passion, has left behind all pain, is rightly called (Buddha), he, O Brâhmana, has come to me.
(1132) 11. 'As the bird, having left the bush, takes up his abode in the fruitful forest, even so I, having left men of narrow views, have reached the great sea, like the hamsa?
(1133) 12. “Those who before in another world explained the doctrine of Gotama, saying, "So it was, so it will be,” all that was only oral tradition, all that was only something that increased my doubts 3. (1134)
13. 'There is only one abiding dispelling darkness, that is the high-born, the luminous, Gotama of great understanding, Gotama of great wisdom (1135)
14. Who taught me the Dhamma, the instantaneous, the immediate, the destruction of desire, freedom from distress, whose likeness is nowhere*' (1136)
15. Bavari :'Canst thou stay away from him even for a moment, O Pingiya, from Gotama of great understanding, from Gotama of great wisdom (1137)
Lokantaga. Digo yatha kubbanakam pahấya Bahupphalam kânanam avaseyya Evam paham appadasse pahaya Mahodadhim hamso-r-iv' agghapatto. Ye 'me pubbe viyâkamsu huram Gotamasasanam ikk-âsi iti bhavissati sabban tam itihîtiham sabban tam takkavaddhanam. Yo me dhammam adesesi Sanditthikam akalikam Tanhakkhayam anîtikam Yassa n'atthi upamâ kvaki.
