[661] The word "not" (na) in "For the brahmin there is nothing to be led by another" is a negation.
"Brahmin" (brāhmaṇa): one is a brahmin because of having banished (bāhitattā) seven things … ¹ independent (anissita), steadfast (tādī), such a one is called "brahmā."
"For the brahmin there is nothing to be led by another": for the brahmin there is no state of being led by another; the brahmin is not to be led by another, does not place his trust in another, is not dependent on another, does not go about bound to another; he knows, he sees, unconfused, clearly comprehending (sampajāno), mindful (paṭissato). "All conditioned things (saṅkhārā) are impermanent": for the brahmin there is no state of being led by another; the brahmin is not to be led by another, does not place his trust in another, is not dependent on another, does not go about bound to another; he knows, he sees, unconfused, clearly comprehending, mindful. "All conditioned things are suffering (dukkha)" … ["all dhammas are non-self"] … "Whatever is subject to origination, all that is subject to cessation": for the brahmin there is no state of being led by another; the brahmin is not to be led by another, does not place his trust in another, is not dependent on another, does not go about bound to another; he knows, he sees, unconfused, clearly comprehending, mindful. Therefore, "for the brahmin there is nothing to be led by another."
¹ Variant reading (Po., Ma.): "asito" for "anissito."
