[857]

“They have no children,

Cattle, fields,

Or possessions;

There’s nothing they take up or discard.7

[858]

“Not revering what

Commoners, renunciants, and brahmins

Say about them,

They are not agitated by [any] talk.8

[859]

“Neither greedy nor selfish, sages don’t claim to be

Superior, equal, or inferior;

Being free of comparisons,

They do not compare.9

[860]

“Taking nothing in the world as their own,

Having no sorrow for what doesn’t exist,

And uninvolved in doctrines

They are called ‘peaceful.’”
