26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 333<br />

The one in his last body<br />

When Ven. Sāriputta was in his village he went to his own<br />

home and was offered almsfood by his mother, who roundly<br />

abused him for being a beggar; however, the elder did not get<br />

angry or say a word, after this was reported to the Buddha, he<br />

spoke this verse.<br />

400. Akkodhanaṁ vatavantaṁ, sīlavantaṁ anussutaṁ,<br />

dantaṁ antimasārīraṁ, tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ.<br />

Whoever is controlled of mind,<br />

dutiful, virtuous, taint-free,<br />

well-trained and in his last body,<br />

that one I say is a brahmin.
