[140] **"Then who, indeed, in the world of gods and humans has crossed over birth and aging, dear sir (mārisa)?"** — Then who is this who, in the world with its gods, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its gods and humans, has crossed over birth, aging, and death — has crossed up, crossed beyond, surmounted it, passed beyond it?
**"Mārisa"** (dear sir): this is a term of affection, a term of respect; this word "mārisa" is a designation accompanied by reverence and deference. Hence: "Then who, indeed, in the world of gods and humans has crossed over birth and aging, dear sir?"
