and returns safe from afar.

220. In like manner his good works receive him who has done good, and
has gone from this world to the other;--as kinsmen receive a friend on
his return.


Chapter XVII
Anger

221. Let a man leave anger, let him forsake pride, let him overcome
all bondage! No sufferings befall the man who is not attached to name
and form, and who calls nothing his own.

222. He who holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot, him I call
a real driver; other people are but holding the reins.

223. Let a man overcome anger by love, let him overcome evil by good;
let him overcome the greedy by liberality, the liar by truth!

224. Speak the truth, do not yield to anger; give, if thou art asked
for little; by these three steps thou wilt go near the gods.

225. The sages who injure nobody, and who always control their body,
they will go to the unchangeable place (Nirvana), where, if they have
gone, they will suffer no more.

226. Those who are ever watchful, who study day and night, and who
strive after Nirvana, their passions will come to an end.
