§ 46.

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Monks, live with the trainings [in heightened virtue, heightened mind, & heightened discernment] as your reward, with discernment uppermost, release the essence, & mindfulness the governing principle. As you live with the trainings as your reward, with discernment uppermost, release the essence, & mindfulness the governing principle, then one of two fruits can be expected: either gnosis right in the present life, or -- if there be any remnant of clinging-sustenance -- non-return."

Complete in the training,
not subject to falling away,
one with discernment
    uppermost,
seeing the stopping, the ending of birth:
    that sage
bears his last body,
has shaken off Mara, I tell you,
has gone beyond aging.
    So, always
delighting in jhana,
    centered,
    ardent,
seeing the stopping, the ending of birth,
conquering Mara, along with his host,
    monks,
be gone-beyond aging & death.
