10. ”Is he endowed with knowledge
”--so said the Yakkha Hemavata,--”is his conduct pure
have his passions been destroyed
is there no new birth (for him)
” (161)
11. ”He is endowed with knowledge,”--so said the Yakkha Sâtâgira,--”and his conduct is pure; all his passions have been destroyed; there is no new birth for him. (162)
12. ”The mind of the Muni is accomplished in deed and word; Gotama, who is accomplished by his knowledge and conduct, let us (go and) see. (163)
13. ”Come, let us (go and) see Gotama, who has legs like an antelope, who is thin, who is wise, living on little food, not covetous, the Muni who is meditating in the forest. (164)
14. ”Having gone to him who is a lion amongst those that wander alone and does not look for sensual pleasures, let us ask about the (means of) deliverance from the snares of death. (165)

which the world is afflicted
Asked about salvation, tell (me) how one is released from pain
” (169)
19. Bhagavat said: ”Five pleasures of sense are said to be in the world, with (the pleasure of) the mind as the sixth; having pested oneself of desire for these, one is thus released from pain. (170)
20. ”This salvation of the world has been told to you truly, this I tell you: thus one is released from pain.” (171)
21. Hemavata said: ”Who in this world crosses the stream (of existence)
who in this world crosses the sea
who does not sink into the deep, where there is no footing and no support
