7: The Chapter about the Arahats – 96<br />

The gods envy the Arahat<br />

Ven. Mahākaccāyana, even though he lived far away, would<br />

regularly come to hear the Buddha teach; one day Sakka saw<br />

the elder was absent and wished he would come, and suddenly<br />

he appeared; Sakka paid homage to him and the Buddha<br />

recited this verse.<br />

94. Yassindriyāni samathaṁ gatāni,<br />

assā yathā sārathinā sudantā,<br />

pahīnamānassa anāsavassa –<br />

devā pi tassa pihayanti tādino.<br />

For the one whose senses are stilled,<br />

like horses well-trained by their groom,<br />

who has abandoned all conceit,<br />

who is without all pollutants –<br />

even the gods envy such a one.
