16: The Chapter about Love – 203<br />

The one who has gone upstream<br />

A monk attained the third stage of Awakening, but when<br />

questioned by his fellow monks, didn’t mention it as he first<br />

wanted to attain Arahatship; in the meantime he passed away<br />

and was reborn in the Pure Lands; his fellow monks lamented,<br />

thinking he had fallen short, but the Buddha explained his<br />

attainment with this verse.<br />

218. Chandajāto anakkhāte, manasā ca phuṭo siyā,<br />

kāmesu ca appaṭibaddhacitto, ‘uddhaṁsoto’ ti vuccati.<br />

The one with desire for the undeclared,<br />

will be suffused with the awak’ning mind,<br />

with a mind unconnected with pleasures,<br />

he is spoken of as ‘one gone upstream’.
