Brāhmaṇavagga · The Brahmin · Gāthā 417

Yo ceva brāhmaṇoti vuccati, so ceva brāhmaṇo hoti; So ceva brāhmaṇoti vuccati, so eva brāhmaṇo hoti.

Yo ceva brāhmaṇoti vuccati, so ceva brāhmaṇo hoti; so ceva brāhmaṇoti vuccati, so eva brāhmaṇo hoti.

Who is called Brahman, is Brahman; who is called Brahman, is truly Brahman.

The Brāhmaṇavagga closes with repeated verses on the identity of the brāhmaṇa. Repetition is not error, it is meditative emphasis.

The Dhammapada ends as it begins: pointing out that spiritual transformation is real, verifiable, and does not depend on lineage or ritual — only on extinction of thirst and cultivation of virtue.
