### [c19.47](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.thomas-1933.c19.47)

At nine and twenty years of age, Subhadra,  
I left the world, my search for the good pursuing;  
Now in addition fifty years are over,  
Since I went forth and left the world, Subhadra.  
Morality, concentration have I practised,  
And knowledge, too, with single mind attentive,  
Preaching the limits of the noble doctrine;  
Outside the range thereof is no ascetic.²
