Dhammapada 305

305

Ekāsanaṃ ekaseyyaṃ,
eko caramatandito;
Eko damayamattānaṃ,
vanante ramito siyā.

He alone who, without ceasing, practises the duty of sitting alone and sleeping alone, he, subduing himself, will rejoice in the destruction of all desires alone, as if living in a forest.
[305. I have translated this verse so as to bring it into something like harmony with the preceding verses. Vanânte, according to a pun pointed out before (v. 283), means both 'in the end of a forest,' and 'in the end of desires.']
