Hemavatasuttaṃ [Snp 1.9, PTS 27–31]

"A divine night has arrived;

The Teacher of superior name, come, let us see Gotama."

"Of such a one towards all beings;

Are thoughts regarding the desirable and undesirable brought under control?"

"Of such a one towards all beings;

And regarding the desirable and undesirable, thoughts are brought under control."

"Is he restrained towards living beings;

Is he far from heedlessness, does he not neglect meditative absorption?"

"And also he is restrained towards living beings;

And also far from heedlessness, the Enlightened One does not neglect meditative absorption."

"Is he not one whose speech is sharp;

Does he not speak divisively, does he not speak frivolously?"

"And also he is not one whose speech is sharp;

And also he does not speak divisively, with wisdom he speaks what is beneficial."

"Is his mind unsullied;

Has he overcome delusion, has he vision regarding phenomena?"

"And also his mind is unsullied;

Having overcome all delusion, the Enlightened One has vision regarding phenomena."

"Is he of pure conduct;

Are his mental corruptions eliminated, is there no more rebirth for him?"

"And also of pure conduct;

All his mental corruptions are eliminated, there is no more rebirth for him."

Accomplished in true knowledge and conduct, you praise him according to the teaching."

Accomplished in true knowledge and conduct, you give thanks according to the teaching."

Accomplished in true knowledge and conduct, come, let us see Gotama."

A sage meditating in the forest, come, let us see Gotama.

Having approached, we ask about the release from the snare of Death.

The Buddha who has gone beyond enmity and fear, we ask Gotama."

"In what does it make intimacy?

Clinging to what, in what is the world vexed?"

"In the six does it make intimacy;

Clinging to the six only, in the six is the world vexed."

Being asked, tell of the deliverance, how is one freed from suffering?"

Having removed desire here, thus one is freed from suffering.

This I declare to you, thus one is freed from suffering."

Without a footing, without a support, who does not sink in the deep?"

Reflecting internally, mindful, crosses the flood hard to cross.

With delight and becoming brought to an end, he does not sink in the deep."

See him, free everywhere, the great sage walking on the divine path.

See him, the all-knowing, the wise one, the great sage walking on the noble path.

That we have seen the Perfectly Enlightened One, a crosser of the mental floods, without mental corruptions.

All go to you for refuge, you are our unsurpassed Teacher.

Paying homage to the Enlightened by himself and to the good nature of the Teaching."
