friends： have virtuous people for friends； have for friends the best of men。
79。 He who drinks in the law lives happily with a serene mind： the
sage rejoices always in the law； as preached by the elect （Ariyas）。
80。 Well…makers lead the water （wherever they like）； fletchers bend the
arrow； carpenters bend a log of wood； wise people fashion themselves。
81。 As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind； wise people falter not
amidst blame and praise。
82。 Wise people； after they have listened to the laws； become serene；
like a deep； smooth； and still lake。
83。 Good people walk on whatever befall； the good do not prattle；
longing for pleasure； whether touched by happiness or sorrow wise people
never appear elated or depressed。
84。 If； whether for his own sake； or for the sake of others； a man
wishes neither for a son； nor for wealth； nor for lordship； and if he does
not wish for his own success by unfair means； then he is good； wise； and
virtuous。
85。 Few are there among men who arrive at the other shore （become
Arhats）； the other people here run up and down the shore。
86。 But those who； when the law has been well preached to them；
follow the law； will pass across the dominion of death； however difficult to
overcome。
87； 88。 A wise man should leave the dark state （of ordinary life）； and

follow the bright state （of the Bhikshu）。 After going from his home to a
homeless state； he should in his retirement look for enjoyment where there
seemed to be no enjoyment。 Leaving all pleasures behind； and calling
nothing his own； the wise man should purge himself from all the troubles
of the mind。
89。 Those whose mind is well grounded in the （seven） elements of
knowledge； who without clinging to anything； rejoice in freedom from
attachment； whose appetites have been conquered； and who are full of
light； are free （even） in this world。

Chapter VII The Venerable
（Arhat）。
90。 There is no suffering for him who has finished his journey； and
abandoned grief； who has freed himself on all sides； and thrown off all
fetters。
91。 They depart with their thoughts well…collected； they are not happy
in their abode； like swans who have left their lake； they leave their house
and home。
92。 Men who have no riches； who live on recognised food； who have
perceived void and unconditioned freedom （Nirvana）； their path is difficult
to understand； like that of birds in the air。
93。 He whose appetites are stilled； who is not absorbed in enjoyment；
who has perceived void and unconditioned freedom （Nirvana）； his path is
difficult to understand； like that of birds in the air。
94。 The gods even envy him whose senses； like horses well broken in
by the driver； have been subdued； who is free from pride； and free from
appetites。
95。 Such a one who does his duty is tolerant like the earth； like Indra's
bolt； he is like a lake without mud； no new births are in store for him。
96。 His thought is quiet； quiet are his word and deed； when he has
obtained freedom by true knowledge； when he has thus become a quiet
man。
97。 The man who is free from credulity； but knows the uncreated； who
has cut all ties； removed all temptations； renounced all desires； he is the
greatest of men。
98。 In a hamlet or in a forest； in the deep water or on the dry land；
wherever venerable persons （Arhanta） dwell； that place is delightful。
99。 Forests are delightful； where the world finds no delight； there the
passionless will find delight； for they look not for pleasures。

Chapter VIII The Thousands
100。 Even though a speech be a thousand （of words）； but made up of
senseless words； one word of sense is better； which if a man hears； he
becomes quiet。
101。 Even though a Gatha （poem） be a thousand （of words）； but made
up of senseless words； one word of a Gatha is better； which if a man hears；
he becomes quiet。
102。 Though a man recite a hundred Gathas made up of senseless
words； one word of the law is better； which if a man hears； he becomes
quiet。
103。 If one man conquer in battle a thousand times thousand men； and
if another conquer himself； he is the greatest of conquerors。
104； 105。 One's own self conquered is better than all other people； not
even a god； a Gandharva； not Mara with Brahman could change into
defeat the victory of a man who has vanquished himself； and always lives
under restraint。
106。 If a man for a hundred years sacrifice month after month with a
thousand； and if he but for one moment pay homage to a man whose soul
is grounded （in true knowledge）； better is that homage than sacrifice for a
hundred years。
107。 If a man for a hundred years worship Agni （fire） in the forest； and
if he but for one moment pay homage to a man whose soul is grounded （in
true knowledge）； better is that homage than sacrifice for a hundred years。
108。 Whatever a man sacrifice in this world as an offering or as an
oblation for a whole year in order to gain merit； the whole of it is not
worth a quarter （a farthing）； reverence shown to the righteous is better。
109。 He who always greets and constantly reveres the aged； four things
will increase to him； viz。 life； beauty； happiness； power。
110。 But he who lives a hundred years； vicious and unrestrained； a life
of one day is better if a man is virtuous and reflecting。
111。 And he who lives a hundred years； ignorant and unrestrained； a
life of one day is better if a man is wise and reflecting。

112。 And he who lives a hundred years； idle and weak； a life of one
day is better if a man has attained firm strength。
113。 And he who lives a hundred years； not seeing beginning and end；
a life of one day is better if a man sees beginning and end。
114。 And he who lives a hundred years； not seeing the immortal place；
a life of one day is better if a man sees the immortal place。
115。 And he who lives a hundred years； not seeing the highest law； a
life of one day is better if a man sees the highest law。

Chapter IX Evil
116。 If a man would hasten towards the good； he should keep his
thought away from evil； if a man does what is good slothfully； his mind
delights in evil。
117。 If a man commits a sin； let him not do it again； let him not delight
in sin： pain is the outcome of evil。
118。 If a man does what is good； let him do it again； let him delight in
it： happiness is the
