I do not know of any thought, ignoble, connected with hate.

I do not know of such a thought, in this long interval.

Gradually practised, as taught by the Buddha.

I develop a mind of friendliness, always delighting in non-ill-will.

I develop the divine abiding, not practised by wretched persons.

Is endowed with noble silence at that very moment.

So a monk, through the elimination of delusion, does not tremble like a mountain.

Even a hair-tip of evil appears like a cloud.

So guard yourselves, let not the moment pass you by.

And I await the time, like a hired servant earning his wages.

The heavy burden has been laid down, the conduit to existence has been uprooted.

That purpose has been attained by me, the elimination of all mental fetters.

Come, I shall attain final Nibbāna, I am liberated everywhere."

Though shaken by an excessive load, does not go beyond the yoke.

They do not despise others, this is the noble teaching for living beings.

Men undergo suffering, they grieve here, young men.

By this dyad the foolish are destroyed, not seeing as it really is.

They stand firm like a gate-post, they are neither elated nor depressed.

Not in blame nor in praise, not for them in suffering nor in happiness.

Everywhere happy are the wise, everywhere unconquered.

Righteous loss is better, than if gain is not righteous.

Disgrace among the wise is better, not fame among those of little wisdom.

Reproach by the wise is better, than if there is praise by fools.

The suffering of seclusion is better, than if happiness is born of sensual pleasure.

Righteous death is better, than if one should live unrighteously.

They wander in the world unattached, for them there is nothing dear or not dear.

Having attained the supreme peace, they attain final nibbāna without mental corruptions."
