A great blazing fire dies down when the fuel runs out. And when the coals have gone out it’s said to be “quenched”.

This simile is taught by the discerning to express the meaning clearly. Great giants will understand what the giant taught the giant.

Free of greed, free of hate, free of delusion, undefiled; the giant, giving up his body, undefiled, will be fully quenched.

Verses of the Senior Monks 16.1 The Book of the Twenties Chapter One Adhimutta (2nd)

“Those who we killed in the past, whether for sacrifice or for wealth, without exception were afraid; they trembled and they squealed.

But you’re not scared; you look even calmer than before. Why don’t you cry out in such a terrifying situation?”

“There isn’t any mental suffering for one without concern, village chief. All fears are left behind by one whose fetters have ended.
