7: The Chapter about the Arahats – 94<br />

The track of the liberated is hard to find<br />

Ven. Belaṭṭhisīsa took to storing up food so as not to be<br />

bothered with the almsround; the monks reported it to the<br />

Buddha, who laid down a rule forbidding the storing of food,<br />

and gave this teaching.<br />

92. Yesaṁ sannicayo natthi, ye pariññātabhojanā,<br />

suññato animitto ca vimokkho yesa’ gocaro,<br />

ākāse va sakuntānaṁ, gati tesaṁ durannayā.<br />

For those who have no stores,<br />

who know their food aright,<br />

for those whose resort is<br />

the liberation that<br />

is empty or signless,<br />

like the birds in the sky,<br />

their track is hard to find.
