271

Na sīlabbatamattena,
bāhusaccena vā pana;
Atha vā samādhilābhena,
vivittasayanena vā.

, 272. Not only by discipline and vows, not only by much learning, not by entering into a trance, not by sleeping alone, do I earn the happiness of release which no worldling can know. Bhikshu, be not confident as long as thou hast not attained the extinction of desires.
[272. See Childers, Notes, p. 7.]
