“What is a person’s partner?
What is it that instructs him?
Taking delight in what is a mortal
Released from all suffering?”“Faith is a person’s partner,
And wisdom is what instructs him.
Taking delight in Nibbāna, a mortal
Is released from all suffering.”

“What is a person’s partner?What instructs them?
Enjoying what is a mortal
released from all suffering?”
“Faith is a person’s partner.
Wisdom instructs them.
Delighting in extinguishment a mortal
is released from all suffering.”
