...the deva spoke this verse...:
Who has not tamed all vain conceits,1
Who lacks in wisdom, uncontrolled,
Heedless, in the woods may dwell alone,
Yet will not escape the realm of death.
[The Blessed One replied:]
Who, concentrated, leaves conceits behind, His heart and mind2 set fair, and wholly freed, Heedful dwelling in the woods alone, Shall indeed escape the realm of death.3
