him as water, a cracked boat.1 So one, always mindful, should avoid sensual desires. Letting them go, heâd cross over the flood like one who, having bailed out the boat, has reached the far shore.2 vv. 766–771 Notes 1. Asaṃga, in the Yogṅcṅrabhūmi, quotes a Sanskrit version of this poem whose verses correspond to the Pali up to this point, but then ends with another verse that has no direct Pali parallel. 2. The Chinese version of the Aṭṭhaka Vagga adds, at this point, the verses on grieving and separation found in AN 5:49.
