I regularly sat close by true persons “Upāsitā sappurisā, and learnt the teaching. sutā dhammā abhiṇhaso; What I learned, I practiced, Sutvāna paṭipajjissaṁ, the direct route that culminates <j>in freedom from death. añjasaṁ amatogadhaṁ.

I’ve slain the desire to be reborn, Bhavarāgahatassa me sato, it won’t be found in me again. Bhavarāgo puna me na vijjati; It was not, and it won’t be in me, Na cāhu na ca me bhavissati, and it isn’t found in me now. Na ca me etarahi vijjatī”ti.

… Kaṇhadinno thero …

vaggo tatiyo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Uttaro bhaddajitthero, sobhito valliyo isi; Vītasoko ca yo thero, puṇṇamāso ca nandako; Bharato bhāradvājo ca, kaṇhadinno mahāmunīti.
