  of the mind。
  89。   Those   whose   mind   is   well   grounded   in   the   (seven)   elements   of
  knowledge;   who   without   clinging   to   anything;   rejoice   in   freedom   from
  attachment;   whose   appetites   have   been   conquered;   and   who   are   full   of
  light; are free (even) in this world。

  Chapter VII The Venerable
  (Arhat)。
  90。  There   is   no   suffering   for   him   who   has   finished   his   journey;   and
  abandoned   grief;   who   has   freed   himself   on   all   sides;   and   thrown   off   all
  fetters。
  91。 They depart with their thoughts well…collected; they are not happy
  in their abode; like swans who have left their lake; they leave their house
  and home。
  92。 Men who have no riches; who live on recognised food; who have
  perceived void and unconditioned freedom (Nirvana); their path is difficult
  to understand; like that of birds in the air。
  93。 He whose appetites are stilled; who is not absorbed in enjoyment;
  who has perceived void and unconditioned freedom (Nirvana); his path is
  difficult to understand; like that of birds in the air。
  94。 The gods even envy him whose senses; like horses well broken in
  by the driver; have been subdued; who is free from pride; and free from
  appetites。
  95。 Such a one who does his duty is tolerant like the earth; like Indra's
  bolt; he is like a lake without mud; no new births are in store for him。
  96。   His   thought   is   quiet;   quiet   are   his   word   and   deed;   when   he   has
  obtained   freedom   by   true   knowledge;   when   he   has   thus   become   a   quiet
  man。
  97。 The man who is free from credulity; but knows the uncreated; who
  has cut all ties; removed all temptations; renounced all desires; he is the
  greatest of men。
  98。  In   a   hamlet   or   in   a   forest;   in   the   deep   water   or   on   the   dry  land;
  wherever venerable persons (Arhanta) dwell; that place is delightful。
  99。 Forests are delightful; where the world finds no delight; there the
  passionless will find delight; for they look not for pleasures。

  Chapter VIII The Thousands
  100。 Even though a speech be a thousand (of words); but made up of
  senseless   words;   one   word   of   sense   is   better;   which   if   a   man   hears;   he
  becomes quiet。
  101。 Even though a Gatha (poem) be a thousand (of words); but made
  up of senseless words; one word of a Gatha is better; which if a man hears;
  he becomes quiet。
  102。   Though   a   man   recite   a   hundred   Gathas   made   up   of   senseless
  words; one word of the law is better; which if a man hears; he becomes
  quiet。
  103。 If one man conquer in battle a thousand times thousand men; and
  if another conquer himself; he is the greatest of conquerors。
  104; 105。 One's own self conquered is better than all other people; not
  even   a   god;   a   Gandharva;   not   Mara   with   Brahman   could   change   into
  defeat the victory of a man who has vanquished himself; and always lives
  under restraint。
  106。 If a man for a hundred years sacrifice month after month with a
  thousand; and if he but for one moment pay homage to a man whose soul
  is grounded (in true knowledge); better is that homage than sacrifice for a
  hundred years。
  107。 If a man for a hundred years worship Agni (fire) in the forest; and
  if he but for one moment pay homage to a man whose soul is grounded (in
  true knowledge); better is that homage than sacrifice for a hundred years。
  108。   Whatever   a   man   sacrifice   in   this   world   as   an   offering   or   as   an
  oblation   for   a   whole   year   in   order   to   gain   merit;   the   whole   of   it   is   not
  worth a quarter (a farthing); reverence shown to the righteous is better。
  109。 He who always greets and constantly reveres the aged; four things
  will increase to him; viz。 life; beauty; happiness; power。
  110。 But he who lives a hundred years; vicious and unrestrained; a life
  of one day is better if a man is virtuous and reflecting。
  111。 And he who lives a hundred years; ignorant and unrestrained;  a
  life of one day is better if a man is wise and reflecting。

  112。 And he who lives a hundred years; idle and weak; a life of one
  day is better if a man has attained firm strength。
  113。 And he who lives a hundred years; not seeing beginning and end;
  a life of one day is better if a man sees beginning and end。
  114。 And he who lives a hundred years; not seeing the immortal place;
  a life of one day is better if a man sees the immortal place。
  115。 And he who lives a hundred years; not seeing the highest law; a
  life of one day is better if a man sees the highest law。

  Chapter IX Evil
  116。   If   a   man   would   hasten   towards   the   good;   he   should   keep   his
  thought away from evil; if a man does what is good slothfully; his mind
  delights in evil。
  117。 If a man commits a sin; let him not do it again; let him not delight
  in sin: pain is the outcome of evil。
  118。 If a man does what is good; let him do it again; let him delight in
  it: happiness is the outcome of good。
  119。 Even an evil…doer sees happiness as long as his evil deed has not
  ripened; but when   his evil deed   has ripened; then   does the evil…doer  see
  evil。
  120。 Even a good man sees evil days; as long as his good deed has not
  ripened; but when his good deed has ripened; then does the good man see
  happy days。
  121。 Let no man think lightly of evil; saying in his heart; It will not
  come   nigh   unto   me。     Even   by   the   falling   of   water…drops   a   water…pot   is
  filled; the fool becomes full of evil; even if he gather it little by little。
  122。 Let no man think lightly of good; saying in his heart; It will not
  come   nigh   unto   me。     Even   by   the   falling   of   water…drops   a   water…pot   is
  filled;   the   wise   man   becomes   full   of   good;   even   if   he   gather   it   little   by
  little。
  123。    Let   a  man     avoid   evil   deeds;   as   a  merchant;     if  he  has   few
  companions and carries much wealth; avoids a dangerous road; as a man
  who loves life avoids poison。
  124。 He who has no   wound on his hand;  may touch poison with   his
  hand; poison does not affect one who has no wound; nor is there evil for
  one who does not commit evil。
  125。 If  a man   offend a harmless; pure; and   innocent person;  the  evil
  falls back upon that fool; like light dust thrown up against the wind。
  126。   Some   people   are   born      again;   evil…doers   go   to   hell;  righteous
  people   go   to   heaven;   those   who   are   free   from   all   worldly   desires   attain
  Nirvana。

  127。 Not in the sky; not in the midst of the sea; not if we enter into the
  clefts of the mountains; is there known a spot in the whole world where
  death could not overcome (the mortal)。

  Chapter X Punishment
  129。 All men tremble at punishment; all men fear death; remember that
  you are like unto them; and do not kill; nor cause slaughter。
  130。 All men tremble at punishment; all men love life; remember that
  thou art like unto them; and do not kill; nor cause slaughter。
  131。 He who seeking his own happiness punishes or kills beings who
  also long for happiness; will not find happiness after death。
  132。 He who seeking his own happiness does not punish or kill beings
  who also long for happiness; will find happiness after death。
  133。 Do not speak harshly to anybody; those who are spoken to will
  answer   thee   in   the   same   way。 Angry  speech   is   painful;  blows   for   blows
  will touch thee。
