Verse 8. Sutra Two - King Udayana

Having understood perception with insight one crosses over the flood,

Attachment to the self the noble one does not estimate,

Having not done so [already], determined remove the [arrow] abandon [possessions],

That without doubt [will] cause you to indulge in [this world or another].


覺想觀度海,  
Jué xiǎng guān dù hǎi,
有我尊不計,
yǒu wǒ zūn bùjì,
力行拔未出, 
lìxíng bá wèi chū,
致使乃無疑
zhì shǐ nǎi wúyí.

Parallel: The Pali Sutta Nipata, Atthakavagga - Chap. 2, Verse 779

Discussion: The noble one in the second line reads muni in the Pali parallel. I've ended with, this world or another as found in the Pali to help complete the verse.
