The first line is very doubtful. I have adopted, in my translation, a suggestion of Mr. Childers, who writes, 'I think it will be necessary to take sabbattha in the sense of "everywhere," or "under every condition;" pañkakhandâdibhedesu, sabbadhammesu, says Buddhaghosha. I do not think we need assume that B. means the word vigahanti to be a synonym of vaganti. I would rather take the whole sentence together as a gloss upon the word vaganti:--vagantîti arahattañânena apakaddhantâ khandarâgam vigahanti; vaganti means that, ridding themselves of lust by the wisdom which Arhatship confers, they cast it away.' I am inclined to think the line means 'the righteous walk on (unmoved) in all the conditions of life.' Nindâ, pasamsâ, sukha, dukkha are four of the eight lokadhammas, or earthly conditions; the remaining lokadhammas are lâbba, alâbha, yasa, ayasa. > In v. 245, passatâ, 'by a man who sees,' means 'by a man who sees clearly or truly.' ln the same manner vrag may mean, not simply 'to walk,' but 'to walk properly,' or may be used synonymously with pravrag. > — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1) - [Previous: 84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.84) - [Next: 86](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.86) ## Translations (9) - [The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-muller.85) — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, English - [Dhammavärsid](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~et-thitanana.85) — et - [Kinh Pháp Cú](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~vi-phantuananh.85) — vi - [Dhamma-Sprüche](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~de-sabbamitta.85) — German - [დჰამმაპადა (ჭეშმარიტების სწავლება)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~ka-luka.85) — Georgian - [Sayings of the Dhamma](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-sujato.85) — English - [Verses of Dhamma](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-suddhaso.85) — English - [The Buddha's "Way of Virtue"](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-wagiswara-saunders.85) — W.
