sn.2.2 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

With Kassapa (2nd)

At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, the god Kassapa recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“Suppose a mendicant is a meditator, freed in mind.
If they want to reach the heart’s peace,
having known the arising and passing of the world,
healthy-minded, independent, that is their reward.”
