[360] "Thus indeed, brahmin, this holy life (brahmacariya) does not have gain, honor, and fame as its benefit, nor accomplishment in virtue (sīlasampadā) as its benefit, nor accomplishment in concentration (samādhi) as its benefit, nor knowledge and vision (ñāṇadassana) as its benefit; but rather, brahmin, it is this unshakeable liberation of mind (akuppā cetovimutti) that is the purpose of this holy life — this is its heartwood, this is its consummation."
When this was said, the brahmin Piṅgalakoccha said to the Blessed One: "Magnificent, Master Gotama! Magnificent, Master Gotama! … May Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge from this day forth, for as long as life lasts."
The Cūḷasāropama Sutta, the tenth, is finished.
The Opamma Vagga, the third.
#1 M(arammakkhara edition reads): paññāya cassa.
Its summary verse (uddāna):
Moliya, the admonition, Ariṭṭha, conceit; Andhavana, the anthill(?), Puṇṇa, the fodder;
The heap, the she-elephant, the great trumpeting elephant; the excellent heartwood, and again Piṅgalakoccha.
