Anivesana has no doubt a technical meaning, and may signify, one who has left his house, his family and friends, to become a monk. A monk shall not return to his home, but travel about; he shall be anivesana, 'homeless,' anâgâra, 'houseless.' But I doubt whether this can be the meaning of anivesana here, as the sentence, let him be an anchorite, would come in too abruptly. I translate it therefore in a more general sense, let him not return or turn away from the battle, let him watch Mâra, even after he is vanquished, let him keep up a constant fight against the adversary, without being attached to anything or anybody.\] an enemy to an enemy, a wrongly-directed mind will do us greater mischief. > — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1) - [Previous: 41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.41) - [Next: 43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.43) ## Translations (9) - [The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-muller.42) — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, English - [Dhammavärsid](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~et-thitanana.42) — et - [Kinh Pháp Cú](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~vi-phantuananh.42) — vi - [Dhamma-Sprüche](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~de-sabbamitta.42) — German - [დჰამმაპადა (ჭეშმარიტების სწავლება)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~ka-luka.42) — Georgian - [Sayings of the Dhamma](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-sujato.42) — English - [Verses of Dhamma](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-suddhaso.42) — English - [The Buddha's "Way of Virtue"](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-wagiswara-saunders.42) — W.
