Udāna — Exclamações — 4.10 — The Peacefulness of Sāriputta

1So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Now at that time Venerable Sāriputta was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, with his body straight, reviewing his own peacefulness.

2The Buddha saw him meditating there.

3Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:

4“With mind at peace, so full of peace,
for a mendicant who has cut the cord,
transmigration through births is finished:
they’re freed from Māra’s bonds.”
