2.32. Sīvaka
BJT 183“These little houses are impermanent, appearing again and again here and there. Searching for the house-builder, repeated birth is suffering.
BJT 184“House-builder, you have been seen; you will not build a house again. All your rafters have been broken and the roof destroyed. The mind, released from bondage, will be extinguished in this very life.”
The venerable elder Sīvaka spoke these verses thus.
