[382] **"The extinction of aging and death (jarāmaccuparikkhayaṃ)"**: the abandonment (pahāna) of aging and death, its calming (vūpasama), its relinquishment (paṭinissagga), its tranquilization (paṭippassaddhi) — the Deathless (amata), Nibbāna. Hence "the extinction of aging and death." [Editorial footnotes of the Siam Raṭṭha edition: (1) The Burmese edition reads *kiñcanavūpasamaṃ kiñcanapaṭinissaggaṃ kiñcanapaṭippassaddhi*; so in similar passages. (2) The Burmese edition reads *so evaṃ*.] Therefore the Blessed One said: Owning nothing (akiñcanaṃ), free of grasping (anādānaṃ) — this is the island (dīpa), with nothing beyond; Nibbāna is what I call it, the extinction of aging and death.
