Arahantavagga  7. The Perfected Ones

Jīvakapañhavatthu 

Gataddhino visokassa,  At journey’s end, rid of sorrow;
vippamuttassa sabbadhi;  everywhere free,
Sabbaganthappahīnassa,  all ties given up,
pariḷāho na vijjati.  no fever is found in them.

Mahākassapattheravatthu 

Uyyuñjanti satīmanto,  The mindful apply themselves;
na nikete ramanti te;  they delight in no abode.
Haṁsāva pallalaṁ hitvā,  Like a swan gone from the marsh,
okamokaṁ jahanti te.  they leave home after home behind.

Belaṭṭhasīsattheravatthu 

Yesaṁ sannicayo natthi,  Those with nothing stored up,
ye pariññātabhojanā;  who have understood their food,
Suññato animitto ca,  whose domain is the liberation
vimokkho yesaṁ gocaro;  of the signless and the empty:
Ākāseva sakuntānaṁ, 
sakuntānaṁ → sakuṇānaṁ (mr)
their path is hard to trace,
gati tesaṁ durannayā.  like birds in the sky.

Anuruddhattheravatthu 

Yassāsavā parikkhīṇā,  One whose defilements have ended;
āhāre ca anissito;  who’s not attached to food;
Suññato animitto ca,  whose domain is the liberation
vimokkho yassa gocaro;  of the signless and the empty:
Ākāseva sakuntānaṁ,  their track is hard to trace,
padaṁ tassa durannayaṁ.  like birds in the sky.

Mahākaccāyanattheravatthu 

Yassindriyāni samathaṅgatāni, 
Yassindriyāni → kassindriyāni (thag2.43:1 [Brahmālittheragāthā]) | samathaṅgatāni → samathaṁ gatāni (bj, pts1ed, pts2ed)
Whose faculties have become serene,
Assā yathā sārathinā sudantā;  like horses tamed by a charioteer,
Pahīnamānassa anāsavassa,  who has abandoned conceit and defilements;
Devāpi tassa pihayanti tādino.  the unaffected one is envied by even the gods.

Sāriputtattheravatthu 

Pathavisamo no virujjhati,  Undisturbed like the earth,
Indakhilupamo tādi subbato; 
Indakhilupamo → indakhīlūpamo (bj, sya-all, pts1ed, pts2ed)
true to their vows, steady as Indra’s pillar,
Rahadova apetakaddamo,  like a lake clear of mud;
Saṁsārā na bhavanti tādino.  such a one does not transmigrate.

Kosambivāsitissattherasāmaṇeravatthu 

Santaṁ tassa manaṁ hoti,  Their mind is peaceful,
santā vācā ca kamma ca;  peaceful are their speech and deeds.
Sammadaññāvimuttassa,  Such a one is at peace,
upasantassa tādino.  rightly freed through enlightenment.

Sāriputtattheravatthu 

Assaddho akataññū ca,  Lacking faith, a house-breaker,
sandhicchedo ca yo naro;  one who acknowledges nothing,
Hatāvakāso vantāso,  purged of hope, they’ve wasted their chance:
sa ve uttamaporiso.  that is indeed the supreme person!

Khadiravaniyarevatattheravatthu 

Gāme vā yadi vāraññe,  Whether in village or wilderness,
Ninne vā yadi vā thale;  in a valley or the uplands,
Yattha arahanto viharanti,  wherever the perfected ones live
Taṁ bhūmirāmaṇeyyakaṁ.  is a delightful place.

Aññataraitthivatthu 

Ramaṇīyāni araññāni,  Delightful are the wildernesses
yattha na ramatī jano;  where no people delight.
Vītarāgā ramissanti,  Those free of greed will delight there,
na te kāmagavesino.  not those who seek sensual pleasures.

Arahantavaggo sattamo.
