Suktimuktavali 96

96

1. "Conduct" (cāritram), so glosses the commentary.
Sūktimuktāvalī.
Having performed worship of the feet of the Arhat, bowed to the ascetics, and understood the scripture, / having abandoned the company of those whose minds are intent on unrighteous deeds, and given wealth to worthy recipients, / having walked the path of those devoted to the highest course, and conquered the host of inner enemies, / having remembered the fivefold obeisance, place desired bliss into the hollow of your hands. // 95
In such a way that fame, sister to the moon, spreads through the directions, / and bringing about rise, the sequence of virtues expands, / and righteousness, capable of removing evil deeds, attains increase— / in such a way should one conduct oneself upon the just path, where good is easily gained. // 96
