‘While you are walking, recluse, you tell me you have stopped;

But now, when you have stopped, you say I have not stopped.

I ask you now, O recluse, about the meaning:

How is it that you have stopped and I have not?’

‘Aṅgulimāla, I have stopped for ever,

I abstain from violence towards living beings;

But you have no restraint towards things that live:

That is why I have stopped and you have not.’

‘Oh, at long last this recluse, a venerated sage,

Has come to this great forest for my sake.

Having heard your stanza teaching me the dhamma,

I will indeed renounce evil for ever.’
