“I see someone pure, perfectly healthy; it is vision that grants a person purity.” Recalling this notion of the ultimate, they believe in the notion <j>that there is one who observes purity.

If a person were granted purity through what is seen, or if by a notion they could give up suffering, then one with attachments is purified by another: their view betrays them as one who asserts thus.

The brahmin speaks not of purity from another in terms of what has been seen, heard, or thought; <j>or by precepts or vows. They are unsullied in the midst of good and evil, letting go what was picked up, <j>without creating anything new here.

Having let go the last they lay hold of the next; following impulse, they don’t pass the chain. They grab on and let loose like a monkey grabbing and releasing a branch.

Having undertaken their own vows, a personage visits various teachers, <j>being attached to perception. One who knows, having comprehended the truth <j>through the knowledges, does not visit various teachers, being of vast wisdom.
