The Discourse on the Pure Octad
795.
"I see the pure, the supreme, the healthy; by what is seen, purity of a man comes to be."
Thus directly knowing, having known it as "supreme", contemplating purity, he falls back on knowledge.
796.
If purity of a man comes to be by what is seen, or if by knowledge he abandons suffering;
He is purified by another while still with clinging, for view reveals him thus speaking.
797.
The brahmin does not speak of purity from another, in what is seen, heard, in morality and observances, or in what is sensed;
Untainted by merit and evil, having abandoned self, not producing anything here.
798.
Having abandoned the former, they cling to the latter, followed by craving, they do not cross over attachment;
They grasp and let go, like a monkey releasing a branch and seizing another.
799.
A creature, having accepted rites by oneself, goes high and low, attached to perception;
But the wise one, having understood the Teaching through the knowledges, the one of extensive wisdom does not go high and low.
800.
He who has become free from the army regarding all phenomena, whatever is seen or heard or sensed;
That very seer, walking unveiled, by what could one here in the world assign him?
801.
They do not construct, they have no preferences, they do not assert: “[This is] ultimate purity.”
Having released the knot of grasping that was bound, they do not make hope anywhere in the world.
802.
The brahmin who has gone beyond boundaries, for him there is not, whether by knowing or by seeing, anything grasped;
Not lustful with lust, not attached to dispassion, for him here there is not anything else grasped.
The Discourse on the Pure Octad is concluded as fourth.
