Whose mode of life is not squandered?

Who enjoy perpetual freedom? sn.i.45

When he stands firmly established?

When he stands firmly established. [n.140] Spk: Firmly established in virtue.
Though an ascetic be of humble birth
Even khattiyas here salute him."

kesaṁ vusitaṁ na nassati;
Kedha icchaṁ parijānanti,
kesaṁ bhojissiyaṁ sadā.

Samaṇānaṁ vusitaṁ na nassati;
Samaṇā icchaṁ parijānanti,
