Dutiyakassapasutta

With Kassapa (2nd)

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

At Sāvatthī.

Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho kassapo devaputto bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:

Standing to one side, the godling Kassapa spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

“Bhikkhu siyā jhāyī vimuttacitto,

“If a mendicant is a meditator, freed in mind,

Ākaṅkhe ce hadayassānupattiṁ;

and if they desire the heart’s fulfillment—

Lokassa ñatvā udayabbayañca,

having known the arising and passing of the world,

Sucetaso anissito tadānisaṁso”ti.

good-hearted, independent, that is their reward.”
