With CandanaCandanasutta

Standing to one side, the godling Candana addressed the Buddha in verse:Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho candano devaputto bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“Who here crosses the flood,“Kathaṁsu tarati oghaṁ, tireless all day and night?rattindivamatandito; Who, not standing and unsupported,Appatiṭṭhe anālambe, does not sink in the deep?”ko gambhīre na sīdatī”ti.

“Someone who is always endowed with ethics,“Sabbadā sīlasampanno, wise and serene,Paññavā susamāhito; energetic and resolute,Āraddhavīriyo pahitatto, crosses the flood so hard to cross.Oghaṁ tarati duttaraṁ.

Someone who desists from sensual perception,Virato kāmasaññāya, has moved past the fetter of form,rūpasaṁyojanātigo; and has finished with relishing and greedNandīrāgaparikkhīṇo, does not sink in the deep.”so gambhīre na sīdatī”ti.
