<strong>Patna</strong> Dharmapada - 200<br />

[404 ≈ Sn 1.1 v.2]<br />

Yo rāgam udicchiyā aśeṣaṁ,<br />

That one who cuts off passion without remainder,<br />

bisapuṣpaṁ va sareruhaṁ vigāhya,<br />

like one who has plucked a lotus growing in a lake,<br />

so bhikkhu jahāti orapāraṁ,<br />

that monk abandons the near and far shore,<br />

urago jinnam iva ttacāṁ purāṇiṁ.<br />

like a snake (who has abandoned) its old, worn-out skin.<br />

Yo rāgam udacchidā asesaṁ,<br />

That one who cuts off passion without remainder,<br />

bhisapupphaṁ va saroruhaṁ vigayha,<br />

like one who has plucked a lotus growing in a lake,<br />

so bhikkhu jahāti orapāraṁ,<br />

that monk abandons the near and far shore,<br />

urago jiṇṇam-iva tacaṁ purāṇaṁ.<br />

like a snake (who has abandoned) its old, worn-out skin.
