A Perfected One

PL
“Yo hoti bhikkhu arahaṁ katāvī, Khīṇāsavo antimadehadhārī; Ahaṁ vadāmītipi so vadeyya, Mamaṁ vadantītipi so vadeyyā”ti.

Mānaṁ nu kho so upagamma bhikkhu, Ahaṁ vadāmītipi so vadeyya; Mamaṁ vadantītipi so vadeyyā”ti. “Pahīnamānassa na santi ganthā,

PL
Loke samaññaṁ kusalo viditvā; Vohāramattena so vohareyyā”ti.
