Standing to one side, the godling Subrahmā addressed the Buddha in verse: Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho subrahmā devaputto bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“This mind is always anxious, “Niccaṁ utrastamidaṁ cittaṁ, this mind is always stressed niccaṁ ubbiggamidaṁ mano; about stresses that haven’t arisen Anuppannesu kicchesu, and those that have. atho uppatitesu ca; If there is a state free of anxiety, Sace atthi anutrastaṁ, please answer my question.” taṁ me akkhāhi pucchito”ti.

“Not without understanding and fervor, “Nāññatra bojjhā tapasā, not without restraining the sense faculties, nāññatrindriyasaṁvarā; not without letting go of everything, Nāññatra sabbanissaggā, do I see safety for living creatures.” sotthiṁ passāmi pāṇinan”ti.

That is what the Buddha said. … Idamavoca …pe… The god vanished right there. tatthevantaradhāyīti.
