274-276*275:

    Just this
    is the path
-- there is no other --
to purify vision.
    Follow it,
and that will be Mara's
    bewilderment.

Following it,
you put an end
to suffering & stress.
I have taught you this path
for knowing
the extraction of arrows.

It's for you to strive
    ardently.
Tathagatas simply
point out the way.
Those who practice,
absorbed in jhana:
    from Mara's bonds
    they'll be freed.

 




275: "I have taught you this path": reading akkhato vo maya maggo with the Thai edition, a reading supported by the Patna Dhp. On the extraction of arrows as a metaphor for the practice see M.63 and M.105.
