“Four are its wheels, and nine its doors; it’s stuffed full, bound with greed, and born from a bog. Great hero, how am I supposed to live like this?”
“छेत्वा नद्धिं वरत्तञ्च, इच्छा लोभञ्च पापकं; समूलं तण्हमब्बुय्ह, एवं यात्रा भविस्सती”ति।
“Chetvā naddhiṁ varattañca, icchā lobhañca pāpakaṁ; Samūlaṁ taṇhamabbuyha, evaṁ yātrā bhavissatī”ti.
“Having cut the strap and harness—the wicked desire and greed—and having plucked out craving, root and all: that’s how you’re supposed to live like this.”
