[674] "Faith (saddhā) is the seed, austerity (tapo) the rain; wisdom (paññā) is my yoke and plough;
moral shame (hirī) is the pole, mind (mano) the yoke-tie; mindfulness (sati) is my ploughshare and goad.
Guarded in body, guarded in speech, restrained with regard to food for the belly,
I make truth (sacca) my weeding-hook; gentleness (soracca) is my unyoking.
Energy (vīriya) is my burden-bearing ox, carrying me to security from bondage (yogakkhema);
it goes on without turning back, to where, having gone, one does not sorrow.
Thus is this ploughing ploughed; it has the Deathless (amata) as its fruit.
Having ploughed this ploughing, one is freed from all suffering (dukkha)."
"Let Master Gotama eat! Master Gotama is a ploughman, since Master Gotama ploughs even the ploughing that has the Deathless as its fruit."
