Without the hints given by the commentator, we should probably take the three similes of this verse in their natural sense, as illustrating the imperturbable state of an Arahanta, or venerable person. The earth is always represented as an emblem of patience; the bolt of Indra, if taken in its technical sense, as the bolt of a gate, might likewise suggest the idea of firmness; while the lake is a constant representative of serenity and purity. The commentator, however, suggests that what is meant is, that the earth, though flowers are cast on it, does not feel pleasure, nor the bolt of Indra displeasure, although less savoury things are thrown upon it; and that in like manner a wise person is indifferent to honour and dishonour. > — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1) - [Previous: 95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.95) - [Next: 97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.97) ## Translations (9) - [The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-muller.96) — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, English - [Dhammavärsid](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~et-thitanana.96) — et - [Kinh Pháp Cú](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~vi-phantuananh.96) — vi - [Dhamma-Sprüche](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~de-sabbamitta.96) — German - [დჰამმაპადა (ჭეშმარიტების სწავლება)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~ka-luka.96) — Georgian - [Sayings of the Dhamma](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-sujato.96) — English - [Verses of Dhamma](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-suddhaso.96) — English - [The Buddha's "Way of Virtue"](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada~en-wagiswara-saunders.96) — W.
