King Janaka said:
- First of all I was averse to physical activity, then to lengthy speech, and finally to thinking itself, which is why I am now established.
- In the absence of delight in sound and the other senses, and by the fact that I am myself not an object of the senses, my mind is focused and free from distraction - which is why I am now established.
- By relinquishing the sense of rejection and acceptance, and with pleasure and disappointment ceasing today, brahmin - I am now established.
- Life in a community, then going beyond such a state, meditation and the elimination of mind-made objects - by means of these I have seen my error, and I am now established.
- Just as the performance of actions is due to ignorance, so their abandonment is too. By fully recognizing this truth, I am now established.
