   “As the mountain rock unshaken stands
   So, delusion slain, the Bhikkhu
   Like to a mountain, trembles not.”

   “He who is engaged in meditation on the body,
   Who is restrained as to the ‘five realms’ of contact,
   That Bhikkhu, ever tranquil, will realize his own deliverance.”

   “From whom no deceit or pride proceeds,
   In whom avarice is annihilated,
   Who has got rid of the notion ‘this is mine’,
   Who is passionless and has put away wrath,
   Who is freed from all cares,
   That Bhikkhu is a Brahmana and a Samana.”
