Life’s stream Is birth and death and birth, with sorrow filled. Now, house-builder, thou’rt seen ! No more shalt build ! Broken are all thy rafters, split thy beam ! All that made up this mortal self is gone : Mind hath slain craving. I have crossed the stream.” \[^1) - [Previous: v2.c19.s3.t2.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.29) - [Next: v2.c19.s3.t2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.31) - [Up: v2.c19.s3.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t2.30) · Pramāṇa
