who have listened to this teaching on cultivating the pure path and, having heard it, have comprehended it and remembered it without fear will attain the unsurpassed, perfect awakening of the Thus-Gone One! They will turn the wheel of Dharma that the Thus-Gone One turns! They will protect the rare jewel of the Thus-Gone One’s sacred Dharma! They will sit on the lion throne and roar like lions, just as the thus-gone, worthy, unsurpassed, perfect Buddha does now! They will conquer the legions of Māra! They will eliminate all adversaries! They will raise the flag of the Dharma! They will make the lamp of the Dharma blaze! They will blow the conch of the Dharma! They will beat the drum of the Dharma! They will bring down a rain of Dharma!”

Then the Blessed One rejoiced in the well-spoken words of the nāgas and the fourfold assembly and spoke these verses to the nāga king Anavatapta:

“Those who conceive of entities
Cannot cultivate this path.
On this path, therefore,
There is no notion of entities.

“This path is pure like the sky—
It cannot be cultivated
While apprehending
Either entities or nonentities.

“Those who do not apprehend this path
In terms of entities or nonentities,
Those who are free from such concepts,
Are those who cultivate the supreme path.

“This path is not cultivated
In terms of self or the absence of self.
This path of nonduality
Brings unsurpassed happiness.

“The same applies to life force,
Soul, and individuality;
On this path, there is no individual,
There is no life force, and nothing is established.
