Dhammapada 7

SujatoEnglish
PāliPali
At journey’s end, rid of sorrow; everywhere free, all ties given up, no fever is found in them.
Gataddhino visokassa, vippamuttassa sabbadhi; Sabbaganthappahīnassa, pariḷāho na vijjati.
The mindful apply themselves; they delight in no abode. Like a swan gone from the marsh, they leave home after home behind.
Mahākassapattheravatthu Uyyuñjanti satīmanto, na nikete ramanti te; Haṁsāva pallalaṁ hitvā, okamokaṁ jahanti te.
Those with nothing stored up, who have understood their food, whose domain is the liberation of the signless and the empty: their path is hard to trace, like birds in the sky.
Belaṭṭhasīsattheravatthu Yesaṁ sannicayo natthi, ye pariññātabhojanā; Suññato animitto ca, vimokkho yesaṁ gocaro; Ākāseva sakuntānaṁ, gati tesaṁ durannayā.
One whose defilements have ended; who’s not attached to food; whose domain is the liberation of the signless and the empty: their track is hard to trace, like birds in the sky.
Anuruddhattheravatthu Yassāsavā parikkhīṇā, āhāre ca anissito; Suññato animitto ca, vimokkho yassa gocaro; Ākāseva sakuntānaṁ, padaṁ tassa durannayaṁ.
Whose faculties have become serene, like horses tamed by a charioteer, who has abandoned conceit and defilements; the unaffected one is envied by even the gods.
Mahākaccāyanattheravatthu Yassindriyāni samathaṅgatāni, Assā yathā sārathinā sudantā; Pahīnamānassa anāsavassa, Devāpi tassa pihayanti tādino.
Undisturbed like the earth, true to their vows, steady as Indra’s pillar, like a lake clear of mud; such a one does not transmigrate.
Sāriputtattheravatthu Pathavisamo no virujjhati, Indakhilupamo tādi subbato; Rahadova apetakaddamo, Saṁsārā na bhavanti tādino.
Their mind is peaceful, peaceful are their speech and deeds. Such a one is at peace, rightly freed through enlightenment.
Kosambivāsitissattherasāmaṇeravatthu Santaṁ tassa manaṁ hoti, santā vācā ca kamma ca; Sammadaññāvimuttassa, upasantassa tādino.
Lacking faith, a house-breaker, one who acknowledges nothing, purged of hope, they’ve wasted their chance: that is indeed the supreme person!
Sāriputtattheravatthu Assaddho akataññū ca, sandhicchedo ca yo naro; Hatāvakāso vantāso, sa ve uttamaporiso.
Whether in village or wilderness, in a valley or the uplands, wherever the perfected ones live is a delightful place.
Khadiravaniyarevatattheravatthu Gāme vā yadi vāraññe, Ninne vā yadi vā thale; Yattha arahanto viharanti, Taṁ bhūmirāmaṇeyyakaṁ.
Delightful are the wildernesses where no people delight. Those free of greed will delight there, not those who seek sensual pleasures.
Aññataraitthivatthu Ramaṇīyāni araññāni, yattha na ramatī jano; Vītarāgā ramissanti, na te kāmagavesino. Arahantavaggo sattamo.
