Note 140 — Chapter XIII · NOTES.
Reading edition
“Through ages past have I acquired continual merit, That which my heart desired have I now attained, How quickly have I arrived at the ever-constant condition, And landed on the very shore of Nirvâna. The sorrows and opposition of the world, The Lord of the Kâmalokas, Mâra Pisuna, These are unable now to affect, they are wholly destroyed; By the power of religious merit and of wisdom are they cast away. Let a man but persevere with unflinching resolution, And seek Supreme Wisdom, it will not be hard to acquire it; When once obtained, then farewell to all sorrows, All sin and guilt are forever done away.”[140]
