Verse 294:
Having killed mother (i.e., craving), father (i.e., Conceit), and
the two kings (i.e., Eternity-belief and Annihilation-belief), and
having destroyed the kingdom (i.e., the sense bases and sense objects) together with its revenue officer (i.e., attachment),
the brahmana (i.e., the Arahat) goes free from dukkha (suffering).


Verse 295:
Having killed mother, father, the two brahmin kings and
having destroyed the hindrances of which the fifth (i.e., doubt) is like a tiger-infested journey,
the brahmana (i.e., the Arahat) goes free from dukkha.
