[59.1][pts][bodh]

"What is a person's companion?
What is it that instructs him?
Taking delight
in what
does a mortal
gain release
from all suffering and stress?"

-◦-

"Conviction is a person's companion.
Discernment is what instructs him.
Taking delight
in unbinding,
a mortal
gains release
from all suffering and stress."
