25: The Chapter about Monastics – 312<br />

The stilling of the defilements<br />

Ven. Santakāya was said to have been born from the womb of<br />

a lioness, and lions are renowned for the dignity of their<br />

bearing; the monks praised him in front of the Buddha for<br />

being so calm and composed; the Buddha affirmed that this is<br />

just as a monastic should be with this verse.<br />

378. Santakāyo santavāco, santavā susamāhito,<br />

vantalokāmiso bhikkhu upasanto ti vuccati.<br />

Calm in body and calm in speech,<br />

having calmness and composure,<br />

having thrown off worldly gain<br />

the monastic is called one at peace.
