[634] "Mahosadha, the wise do not pierce one with what is past. Why do you pierce me with a goad, as though I were a tethered horse? If you see release⁴ for me, or if instead you see safety, instruct me by that very means — why do you pierce me with what is past?" #1 Burmese ed.: yadeva. #2 Burmese ed.: purisaṃ. #3 Burmese ed.: jānāmi. #4 Burmese ed.: mokkhaṃ vā.
