2.36

佛說偈已,主人及王益加歡喜,供養七日,得須陀洹道。

“His mind having been quieted, his words and deeds are also at rest; freed by the truth, in perfect peace he returns to (or finds refuge in) Nirvāna. Free from desire, without entanglements, released from the impediments of the world (three worlds), all thoughts of self-indulgence gone, this man is rightly called Superior. Whether in the hamlet or in the wilderness, on the level land or the high bank of the river, wherever such persons dwell there cannot but be delight. They have found their delight in the wilderness, where men find none; passionless they rejoice, having no ground left for pleasure-seeking.”

Samuel Beal, Texts from the Buddhist Canon commonly known as Dhammapada, with accompanying narratives
