26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 350<br />

The one unattached to yokes<br />

One monk who was previously a dancer soon became an<br />

Arahat; when a troupe of dancers passed through, the monks<br />

asked whether he still craved for his previous life, and he<br />

answered he did not; the monks asked the Buddha about it,<br />

who confirmed the monk had overcome all yokes, and spoke<br />

this verse.<br />

417. Hitvā mānusakaṁ yogaṁ, dibbaṁ yogaṁ upaccagā,<br />

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

Abandoning the human yoke,<br />

overcoming the divine yoke,<br />

being unattached to all yokes,<br />

that one I say is a brahmin.
