176 DHAMMAPADA. the instruction of the enlightened, this man is fortunate. Once convinced »f the happiness of religion (B6dhi), then with upright heart never swerv- ing from his faith, desiring above aU things to escape the three evil ways (of birth), this man is truly happy. With equal mind, devoting himself to charity, honouring all the wise alike, and pay- ing respect to the Divine Spirits, this man is indeed happy. Always anxious to get rid of sensual desires and covetousness, to escape from delusive thoughts, ignorance, and anger, ever constant in the pursuit of true wisdom, this man is indeed fortunate. Even in discarding the evil using no ex- traordinary appearance of eflfort, but steadily per- severing in the practice of what is right, always acting as he ought to act, this man is fortunate indeed. Full of love for all things in the world, practising virtue in order to benefit others, this man alone is happy. The wise man dwelling in the world, pursuing this line of fortunate behaviour Avith constancy, ever pressing onwards to complete what knowledge he has gained, this is a happy man indeed." The BrahinachS,rin, having heard the instruction of Buddha, felt his heart full of joy; immediately he arose and worshipped, and took refuge in Buddha, the Law, and the Church. The Mrgrantha and his followers, having heard these words, were very glad, and after due worship they obtained permission to become Shamans, and soon obtained inward illumination (the eyes of the Law).
