"Feeding Ground of the Peacocks": "feeding ground" means food; where food was given to peacocks together with safety, that place is the meaning. "In the open air": in an open courtyard. "Attained to solace": attained to satisfaction, attained to gladness. "Aspiration": serving as an excellent support. "The beginning of the holy life": the noble path designated as the ancient holy life. This is what is said: "Venerable sir, what is that Dhamma through which disciples trained by the Blessed One, having fulfilled the noble path that is the aspiration and the beginning of the holy life, declare solace by way of attaining arahantship?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 25.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.25.54) - [Next: 25.54\_3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.25.54_3) - [Up: 25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.25) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini~en-mt.25.54_2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.25.54_2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha!sumangalavilasini.25.54_2) · Pramāṇa
