Verse 254:
In the sky there is no track;
outside the Buddha's Teaching there is no ariya Bhikkhu
(samana).
All beings take delight in fetters (i.e., craving, pride and wrong view) that prolong samsara;
all the Buddhas are free from these fetters.

Verse 255:
In the sky there is no track;
outside the Buddha's Teaching there is no ariya Bhikkhu
(samana).
There is no conditioned thing that is permanent;
all the Buddhas are unperturbed (by craving, pride and wrong view).
