He whose conquest is not conquered again, into whose conquest noone in this world enters, by what track can you lead him, the Awakened, the Omniscient, the trackless? 180. He whom no desire with its snares and poisons can lead astray, by what track can you lead him, the Awakened, the Omniscient, thetrackless? 181. Even the gods envy those who are awakened and not forgetful, whoare given to meditation, who are wise, and who delight in the repose ofretirement (from the world). 182. Difficult (to ...obtain) is the conception of men, difficult is thelife of mortals, difficult is the hearing of the True Law, difficult isthe birth of the Awakened (the attainment of Buddhahood). 183. Not to commit any sin, to do good, and to purify one's mind, thatis the teaching of (all) the Awakened. 184. The Awakened call patience the highest penance, long-suffering thehighest Nirvana; for he is not an anchorite (pravragita) who strikesothers, he is not an ascetic (sramana) who insults others. 185. Not to blame, not to strike, to live restrained under the law, to be moderate in eating, to sleep and sit alone, and to dwell on thehighest thoughts, --this is the teaching of the Awakened.
