Taṇhākhaya Sutta
The Ending of Craving
Translated from the Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Sāvatthī at Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's monastery. And on that occasion Ven. Aññāta Koṇḍañña[1] was sitting not far from the Blessed One, his legs crossed, his body held erect, reflecting on [his] release through the total ending of craving. The Blessed One saw Ven. Aññāta Koṇḍañña sitting not far away, his legs crossed, his body held erect, reflecting on [his] release through the total ending of craving.
Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
For someone with no root, no soil, no leaves
— how creepers?
Who's fit to criticize him? —
the enlightened one freed
from bonds.
Even devas praise him.
Even by Brahmā he's praised.
