Two kinds of death are declared in this world, namely: death in happiness
and death in misery. Thus spoke the seer Rāmaputta, the arhat:
"Here I make a declaration concerning this soul of mine, which has an uncollected
state of mind, which is afflicted by boils. Subject to the bonds of boils, I shall make
an end to the bonds of boils. Enough with what was done before! Therefore,
having broken the bonds of boils, I will cultivate knowledge, view, and conduct.
Knowing by knowledge, seeing by view, restraining [myself] by self-restraint,
shaking off and cleansing the eightfold dirt and stain of karma by ascetic heat,
having crossed over the beginningless, endless, long-lasting wilderness of saṃsāra
with its four states of existence, having reached the place named the state of perfection,
which is auspicious, immovable, painless, imperishable,
harmless, and free from rebirth, I shall abide for an eternal time in future duration."
"Thus he is perfected, enlightened... nor does he quickly come again to this state," so I say.
