§ 51.

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "There are these three properties. Which three? The property of form, the property of formlessness, & the property of cessation.^* These are the three properties."

Comprehending the property of form,
not taking a stance in the formless,
those released in cessation
are people who've left death        behind.

Having touched with his body
the deathless
property        free
from acquisitions,
having realized the relinquishing
of acquisitions,
    fermentation-free,
the Rightly
Self-awakened One
teaches the state
        with    no sorrow,
            no dust.
