Verse 108.14
सिंच भिक्षु इमां नावां उपेक्षाये सिक्ता ते लघु भेष्यति ।
छित्त्वा रागं च दोषं च ततो निर्वाणम् एष्यसि ॥ १४ ॥
siṃca bhikṣu imāṃ nāvāṃ upekṣāye siktā te laghu bheṣyati |
chittvā rāgaṃ ca doṣaṃ ca tato nirvāṇam eṣyasi || 14 ||
Besprinkle this boat, O monk. Besprinkled with equanimity, it will float more lightly for you. Cut out passion and ill-will. Thus will you go or to nirvana. (14)
