26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 347<br />

The one who crossed over<br />

Suppavāsā carried her child Sīvali for seven years in her<br />

womb and took seven days to deliver him; later he ordained<br />

and became an Arahat; one day the monks discussed how<br />

much suffering he had been through, and the Buddha<br />

confirmed he was now free of suffering and spoke this verse.<br />

414. Yo imaṁ palipathaṁ duggaṁ saṁsāraṁ moham-accagā,<br />

tiṇṇo pāragato jhāyī, anejo akathaṅkathī,<br />

anupādāya nibbuto, tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ.<br />

He who has crossed the difficult<br />

path through births, deaths and delusion,<br />

the meditator, crossed over<br />

to the further shore, free of lust<br />

and doubt, unattached and cooled down,<br />

that one I say is a brahmin.
