26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 346<br />

The one who no longer rejoices in life<br />

Because of a past deed a light shone from the torso of the boy<br />

Candābha and he was taken round the country giving<br />

blessings; when he entered into the presence of the Buddha,<br />

however, the light disappeared; he then ordained and soon<br />

became an Arahat; the monks doubted his attainment and<br />

asked the Buddha, who spoke this verse about him.<br />

413. Candaṁ va vimalaṁ suddhaṁ, vippasannam-anāvilaṁ,<br />

nandībhavaparikkhīṇaṁ, tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ.<br />

Whoever just like the moon is<br />

stainless, pure, clear, undisturbed, and<br />

has destroyed joy in existence,<br />

that one I say is a brahmin.
