17: The Chapter about Anger – 210<br />

Sages go to Nibbāna<br />

A brahmin and his wife at Sāketa always addressed the<br />

Buddha as their son; the monks asked the Buddha why and he<br />

explained that they were his parents in fifteen hundred<br />

previous existences; at the end of one Rains Retreat the couple<br />

attained Nibbāna together, and the Buddha spoke this verse.<br />

225. Ahiṁsakā ye munayo, niccaṁ kāyena saṁvutā,<br />

te yanti accutaṁ ṭhānaṁ, yattha gantvā na socare.<br />

Those sages without violence,<br />

constantly restrained in body,<br />

go to the deathless Nibbāna,<br />

having gone there they do not grieve.
