26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 337<br />

The one with few desires<br />

Ven. Pabbhāravāsī Tissa retired to a certain rock cave in<br />

order to forward his meditation; the deity residing there<br />

moved out and tried to slander the elder; recalling his own<br />

virtue, however, the elder soon became an Arahat; the monks<br />

could not believe he had not got angry with the deity, but the<br />

Buddha confirmed his purity with this verse.<br />

404. Asaṁsaṭṭhaṁ gahaṭṭhehi anāgārehi cūbhayaṁ,<br />

anokasāriṁ appicchaṁ, tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ.<br />

Whoever does not mix with<br />

the householders or the houseless,<br />

wand’ring homeless, with few desires,<br />

that one I say is a brahmin.
