[540] For one who is born there is death (maraṇa);
one who is born sees sufferings (dukkha):
bondage, killing, affliction —
therefore one should not delight in birth (jāti).
The Buddha taught the Dhamma,
the transcending of birth;
for the abandoning of all suffering
he established me in the truth.
Those beings who go to form (rūpa)
and those who partake of the formless,
not understanding cessation (nirodha),
must come again to renewed existence (punabbhava).
Then Māra the Evil One, realizing, "The bhikkhunī Cālā knows me," sad and dejected, vanished right there.
