6. The Chapter about Grief
- pdhp84:1
ye keci śokā paridevitaṁ vā dukkhaṁ va lokamhi anekarūpaṁ ।
Whatever griefs or lamentations there are, and the many kinds of suffering in the world,
- pdhp84:2
priyaṁ paṭicca prabhavanti ete priye asante na bhavanti ete ।।
these all arise because of love, without loves, these do not originate.
- pdhp85:1
tassā hi te sukhino vītaśokā yesaṁ priyaṁ nāsti kahiṁci loke ।
Therefore they are happy and free from grief, who are without love for anything in the world,
- pdhp85:2
tassā aśokaṁ virajaṁ prātthayānā priyaṁ na kayirātha kahiṁci loke ।।
therefore those wanting what is griefless, dust-free, should not have love for anything in the world.
- pdhp86:1
gataddhuno viśokassa vipramuttassa sabbahiṁ ।
For the one who has reached his goal, who grieves not, being released on all sides,
- pdhp86:2
sabbaggrantaprahīṇassa paridāhā na vijjati ।।
who has abandoned all the knots, no consuming fever is found.
- pdhp87:1
yesāṁ sannicayo nāsti ye pariñātabhojanā ।
For those who have no stores, those who comprehend food aright,
- pdhp87:2
ākāśe va śakuntānāṁ padaṁ tesāṁ durannayaṁ ।।
like the birds in the sky, their footprint is hard to find.
- pdhp88:1
śānto tassa mano hoti śāntā vācā ca kaṁmu ca ।
His mind is calm, his speech and his actions are also calm,
- pdhp88:2
saṁmadaṁñāvimuttassa upaśāntassa tāyino ।।
liberated by right knowledge, such a one is truly peaceful.
- pdhp89:1
yassendriyāṇi samathaṁ gatāni aśśā yathā sārathinā sudāntā ।
For the one whose senses are balanced, like horses well-trained by their charioteer,
- pdhp89:2
prahīṇamānassa anāsavassa devā pi tassa prihayanti tāyino ।।
who has abandoned conceit, who is without pollutants—even the gods envy such a one.
- pdhp90:1
dāntaṁ nayanti samitiṁ dāntaṁ rājābhirūhati ।
They lead one trained into a crowd, a king mounts one who has been trained,
- pdhp90:2
dānto śreṣṭho manuṣyesu yo ’tivāde titikkhati ।।
amongst humans one trained is best, the one who can endure reproof.
- pdhp91:1
varam assatarā dāntā ājāneyā ca sendhavā ।
Noble are the well-trained horses, the well-bred horses from Sindh,
- pdhp91:2
kuñjarā va mahānāgā āttā dānto tato varaṁ ।।
and the great tusker elephants, and even more noble than that is the one who has trained himself.
- pdhp92:1
na hi tehi jānajātehi tāṁ bhūmim abhisaṁbhave ।
Not by these vehicles can one reach that place,
- pdhp92:2
yathā ’ttanā sudāntena dānto dāntena gacchati ।।
as one through training himself well, being trained by the training, goes.
- pdhp93:1
śelo yathā ekaghano vātena na samīrati ।
Just as solid rock is not shaken by the wind,
- pdhp93:2
evaṁ nindāpraśaṁsāsu na samīranti paṇḍitā ।।
so the wise are not shaken by blame or praise.
- pdhp94:1
anikkaṣāyo kāṣāyaṁ yo vastaṁ paridhehiti ।
The one who, while still impure, would wear the renunciant’s robe,
- pdhp94:2
apeto damasaccena na so kāṣāyam arihati ।।
unendowed with restraint and truth, is not worthy of the renunciant’s robe.
- pdhp95:1
yo tu vāntakaṣāyassa śīlehi susamāhito ।
The one who, steady in virtue, throws out any impurity,
- pdhp95:2
upeto damasaccena sa ve kāṣāyam arihati ।।
endowed with restraint and truth, is indeed worthy of the renunciant’s robe.
- pdhp95:3
