by Émile Senart | 1882 | 56,574 words
This is the Sanskrit Mahavastu: a lengthy work on Buddhist teachings and narratives belonging to the school of early Buddhism (Mahasanghika).

Verse 90.82
कथंविहारी बहुलीह भिक्षु पंचोघतीर्णो तरतीह षष्टं ।
कथंध्यायी बहुली कामसंज्ञा परिबाहितो भवति अलब्धगाढा ॥ ८२ ॥
kathaṃvihārī bahulīha bhikṣu paṃcoghatīrṇo taratīha ṣaṣṭaṃ |
kathaṃdhyāyī bahulī kāmasaṃjñā paribāhito bhavati alabdhagāḍhā || 82 ||
How does a monk live and apply himself in the world, who, having crossed the five floods is crossing the sixth? How does a monk meditate and apply himself so that sensual thoughts are kept outside of him and gain no foothold in him? (82)
