Dhammapada 46 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


4 - Pupphavagga, Flowers
2 - Maricikammatthanika bhikkhu Vatthu
Phepnupamam kayamimam viditva,
maricidhammam abhisambudhano;
chetvana marassa papupphakani,
adassanam maccurajassa gacche.
46: One who knows that this body is impermanent like froth, and comprehends that it is insubstantial like a mirage, will cut the flowers of Mara (i.e., the three kinds of vatta or rounds), and pass out of sight of the King of Death.
Mya Tin, Daw, tr. The Dhammapada: Verses and Stories. Rangoon: Burma Tipitaka Association, 1986.
