17: The Chapter about Anger – 211<br />

The wakeful overcome the pollutants<br />

Puṇṇā was a slave girl who was given work that lasted into the<br />

night at which time she saw the monks being guided to their<br />

quarters by Ven. Dabbamalla; when she met the Buddha the<br />

next day and offered him a cake he explained with this verse<br />

why the monks were awake.<br />

226. Sadā jāgaramānānaṁ, ahorattānusikkhinaṁ,<br />

Nibbānaṁ adhimuttānaṁ, atthaṁ gacchanti āsavā.<br />

For those who are always wakeful,<br />

who train both by day and by night,<br />

who are intent on Nibbāna,<br />

the pollutants are laid to rest.
