Free of Strife Araṇasutta

“Who in the world is free of strife? “Kesūdha araṇā loke, Whose life is not wasted? kesaṁ vusitaṁ na nassati; Who here completely understands desire? Kedha icchaṁ parijānanti, Who always lives as their own master? kesaṁ bhojissiyaṁ sadā.

To whom do mother, father, and brothers Kiṁsu mātā pitā bhātā, bow when they’re established? vandanti naṁ patiṭṭhitaṁ; Who here, though low born, Kiṁsu idha jātihīnaṁ, is bowed to even by aristocrats?” abhivādenti khattiyā”ti.

“Ascetics are free of strife in the world. “Samaṇīdha araṇā loke, The life of ascetics is not wasted. Samaṇānaṁ vusitaṁ na nassati; Ascetics completely understand desire. Samaṇā icchaṁ parijānanti, Ascetics always live as their own master. Samaṇānaṁ bhojissiyaṁ sadā.

Mother, father, and brothers Samaṇaṁ mātā pitā bhātā, bow to ascetics when they’re established. vandanti naṁ patiṭṭhitaṁ; Even though an ascetic is low born, Samaṇīdha jātihīnaṁ, they’re bowed to even by aristocrats.” abhivādenti khattiyā”ti.
