26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 317<br />

Striving for Nibbāna<br />

The brahmin Pasādabahula heard the Buddha teach and<br />

became a devotee; he used to invite monks to his house for<br />

meals and would always address them as Arahat, which<br />

nobody was happy about; the Buddha advised him with this<br />

verse to strive to become an Arahat himself.<br />

383. Chinda sotaṁ parakkamma, kāme panuda, brāhmaṇa,<br />

saṅkhārānaṁ khayaṁ ñatvā, akataññūsi, brāhmaṇa.<br />

Strive and cut off the stream, remove<br />

desire, brahmin, knowing the<br />

destruction of the conditioned,<br />

know that which is not made, brahmin.
