Maanakaamo Sutta
Vain Conceits
Translated from the Pāli by Maurice O'Connell Walshe
...the deva spoke this verse...:
Who has not tamed all vain conceits,[1]
Who lacks in wisdom, uncontrolled,
Heedless, in the woods may dwell alone,
Yet will not escape the realm of death.
[The Blessed One replied:]
Who, concentrated, leaves conceits behind, His heart and mind[2] set fair, and wholly freed, Heedful dwelling in the woods alone, Shall indeed escape the realm of death.[3]
