Standing to one side, the godling Kassapa spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence: Ekamantaṁ į¹­hito kho kassapo devaputto bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:

ā€œIf a mendicant is a meditator, freed in mind, ā€œBhikkhu siyā jhāyÄ« vimuttacitto, and if they desire the heart’s fulfillment— Ākaį¹…khe ce hadayassānupattiṁ; having known the arising and passing of the world, Lokassa Ʊatvā udayabbayaƱca, good-hearted, independent, that is their reward.ā€ Sucetaso anissito tadānisaṁsoā€ti.
