Yassa cetaṃ samucchinnaṃ,
mūlaghaccaṃ samūhataṃ;
Sa vantadoso medhāvī,
“sādhurūpo”ti vuccati.

He in whom all this is destroyed, and taken out with the very root, he, when freed from hatred and wise, is called respectable.
[259. Buddhaghosa here takes law (dhamma) in the sense of the four great truths, see note to verse 190. Could dhammam kâyena passati mean, 'he observes the law in his acts?' Hardly, if we compare expressions like dhammam vipassato, v. 373.]
