26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 349<br />

The one who gave up craving and existence<br />

Because of their deeds in a previous existence, the merchants<br />

Jaṭila and Jotika were extremely rich; after they retired from<br />

the world and became Arahats the monks feared they were<br />

longing for their previous wealth; the Buddha explained that<br />

they had given up all craving, and spoke this verse about those<br />

who have attained.<br />

416. Yodha taṇhaṁ pahatvāna, anāgāro paribbaje,<br />

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

Whoever, giving up craving,<br />

would wander homeless in this world,<br />

destroying craving, existence,<br />

that one I say is a brahmin.
