3. A Sword

1 “O hero so lean, with antelope calves,

not greedy, eating little,

a giant, wandering alone like a lion,

you’re not concerned for sensual pleasures.

We’ve come to ask a question:

How is one released from all suffering?”

2 “The world has five kinds of sensual stimulation,

and the mind is said to be the sixth.

When you’ve discarded desire for these,

you’re released from all suffering.”
