39*39:

For a person of unsoddened mind,
            unassaulted awareness,
abandoning merit & evil,
    wakeful,
there is no danger
        no fear.

 




39: According to DhpA, "unsoddened mind" means one into which the rain of passion doesn't penetrate (see 13 and 14); "unassaulted awareness" means a mind not assaulted by anger. "Beyond merit & evil": The arahant is beyond merit and evil in that he/she has none of the mental defilements -- passion, aversion, or delusion -- that would lead to evil actions, and none of the attachments that would cause his/her actions to bear kammic fruit of any sort, good or bad.
