1 Having stood at one side, Subrahma, son of the devas addressed the Auspicious One in verse:

“Always anxious is this mind,
always agitated is this mind;
in [regard to] unarisen problems,
and then in [regard to] arisen ones;
if there exists non-anxiety,
Being asked, [please] declare it to me.”

2 The Auspicious One:

Not apart from the awakening factors and austerity,
not apart from the restraint of the [sense] faculties;
not apart from giving up all,
Do I see safety for beings.

1 ekamantaṃ ṭhito kho subrahmā devaputto bhagavantaṃ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

niccaṃ utrastamidaṃ cittaṃ,
niccaṃ ubbiggamidaṃ mano;
anuppannesu kicchesu,
atho uppatitesu ca;
sace atthi anutrastaṃ,
taṃ me akkhāhi pucchito ti.

2 bhagavā:

nāññatra bojjhaṅgā tpasā,
nāññatra indriyasaṃvarā;
nāññatra sabbanissaggā,
sotthiṃ passāmi pāṇinanti.
