3.71

梵志聞偈㸌然意解,知命無常妻子如客,稽首委質願為沙門。佛言:「善哉!」鬚髮自落法衣在身,即成比丘,思惟偈義滅愛斷想,即於座上得阿羅漢道。

Hearing the verses, the brahmacārin's mind was brightly awakened; knowing that life is impermanent and that wives and children are like lodgers, he bowed his head, committed his life, and wished to become a śramaṇa. The Buddha said: "Welcome!" His beard and hair fell off by themselves, the Dharma robes were on his body, and he immediately became a bhikṣu. Contemplating the meaning of the verses, he extinguished craving and severed conceptions, and right on his seat he attained the path of an arhat.

On hearing these verses the Brahman at once obtained enlightenment and perceived the inconstancy of life; that wife and child are but as the guest who leaves the house; and so having paid reverence to Buddha, he besought permission to enter the community, on which Buddha having welcomed him, he at once became a Shaman, and eventually arrived at the condition of a Rahat.
