or a field. Therefore it will not sprout into further becoming. Poems in the Canon often describe the arahant as being "everywhere released" (sabbattha vimutto—see Dhp 348) or "everywhere independent" (sabbattha anissito—see Sn 4:6), referring indirectly to this analogy. Translators, lacking a sense of the underlying image of the idiom, have tended to render it in more prosaic terms: "completely released in every respect," "not dependent on anything," "released from everything." However, in light of the field analogy, the idiom means precisely what it says: The arahant is released from every possible "where," whether fabricated or not—every possible spot for renewed becoming. - --> - - - -
