Sabbā save sadā hare, sabbaṁ yogam pajahe samaṇo; Sabbāsave anusasesi, pecchatā amataṁ ahu.
Sabbā save sadā hare, sabbaṁ yogam pajahe samaṇo; sabbāsave anusasesi, pecchatā amataṁ ahu.
Always bear all impurities, the ascetic abandons all bonds; having exhausted all impurities, attachment has become immortality.
Samaṇo — ascetic, one who works on themselves. In ancient India, the śramaṇa is one who renounces the conventional world to seek truth.
Pecchatā amataṁ ahu — what was expected became immortality. Expectation transmutes: one no longer expects something from the world, but discovers what never died.
