2. Devaputtasaṁyutta: On Gods
II. With Anāthapiṇḍika — SN2.15: With Candana

1Standing to one side, the god Candana addressed the Buddha in verse:
2“Who here crosses the flood,
tireless all day and night?
Who, not standing and unsupported,
does not sink in the deep?”
3“Someone who is always endowed with ethics,
wise and serene,
energetic and resolute,
crosses the flood so hard to cross.
4Someone who desists from sensual perception,
has moved past the fetter of form,
and has finished with relishing and greed
does not sink in the deep.”
1Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho candano devaputto bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:
2"Kathaṁsu tarati oghaṁ,
rattindivamatandito;
Appatiṭṭhe anālambe,
ko gambhīre na sīdatī"ti.
3"Sabbadā sīlasampanno,
Paññavā susamāhito;
Āraddhavīriyo pahitatto,
Oghaṁ tarati duttaraṁ.
4Virato kāmasaññāya,
rūpasaṁyojanātigo;
Nandīrāgaparikkhīṇo,
so gambhīre na sīdatī"ti.
