Standing to one side, the godling Kassapa spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho kassapo devaputto bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
“If a mendicant is a meditator, freed in mind,“Bhikkhu siyā jhāyī vimuttacitto, and if they desire the heart’s fulfillment—Ākaṅkhe ce hadayassānupattiṁ; having known the arising and passing of the world,Lokassa ñatvā udayabbayañca, good-hearted, independent, that is their reward.”Sucetaso anissito tadānisaṁso”ti.
