[265] **For the sage faring empty (rittassa munino carato)**: "Empty" (rittassa) means empty, void, and secluded from bodily misconduct; empty, void, and secluded from verbal misconduct, from mental misconduct, from lust (rāga), hatred, delusion, anger, grudge, denigration, domineering, envy, avarice, deceit, hypocrisy, obstinacy, presumption, conceit, excessive conceit, intoxication, and heedlessness; empty, void, and secluded from all defilements, from all misconduct, from all distress, from all fevers, from all torments, from all unwholesome volitional formations (akusalābhisaṅkhāra). "Sage" (muni): knowledge (ñāṇa) is called sagacity (mona), that is, the wisdom, the understanding … having passed beyond the tie and the net, he is a sage. "Faring": faring, dwelling, moving in the postures, proceeding, guarding, keeping himself going, maintaining himself — thus, "for the sage faring empty."
