Eṇijaṅghasutta

Antelope Calves Antelope Calves

“Eṇijaṅghaṁ kisaṁ vīraṁ,
Of the slender hero with antelope calves,
“O hero so lean, with antelope calves,

appāhāraṁ alolupaṁ;
Greedless, subsisting on little food,
not greedy, eating little,

Sīhaṁvekacaraṁ nāgaṁ,
Wandering alone like a lion or naga,
an elephant, wandering alone like a lion,

kāmesu anapekkhinaṁ;
Without concern for sensual pleasures:
you’re not concerned for sensual pleasures.

Upasaṅkamma pucchāma,
“Having approached you, we ask a question
We’ve come to ask a question:

kathaṁ dukkhā pamuccatī”ti.
How is one released from suffering?”
How is one released from all suffering?”

“Pañca kāmaguṇā loke,
“Five cords of sensual pleasure in the world,
“The world has five kinds of sensual stimulation,

manochaṭṭhā paveditā;
With mind declared to be the sixth:
and the mind is said to be the sixth.

Ettha chandaṁ virājetvā,
Having expunged desire here,
When you’ve discarded desire for these,

evaṁ dukkhā pamuccatī”ti.
One is thus released from suffering. ”
you’re released from all suffering.”

Sattivaggo tatiyo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Sattiyā phusati ceva,

jaṭā manonivāraṇā;

Arahantena pajjoto,

sarā mahaddhanena ca;

Catucakkena navamaṁ,

eṇijaṅghena te dasāti.
