1. =27,11

10. There are those who practise morality, the precepts, good behaviour, who lead a life of holiness (brahmachariya), and there is an extreme which is to devote oneself to asceticism.

2. =27,12

11. And there is another extreme in which they say: "Desires are pure; though one has desires he is virtuous; desires are to be indulged in; desires have nothing sinful in them." These men are swallowed up by their desires. (The followers of) both these extreme (theories), frequenting mostly burial-places, are called " frequenters of burial-places " (sosâniko).

3. =27,13

12. Neither of these extremes see (the cause of suffering), so part of them are filled with desires, and part of them are wildly running about; 1 they who can see perceive how full of desires they are, and how they run about.

etāv antau viditvā tu nābhavaṃs tatra ye budhāḥ |

4. =27,14

13. They who can see, perceive that if these two extremes could but see, they would give up desires and cease running (after them); so they have no desires, and do not run about (after them). As they do not thus, as they think not thus (i.e., as the two extremes), as they are not held in this way, they have found the end of suffering.

5. =27,15

14 (170). He who looks on the world as a bubble, who considers it as a mirage, the king of death will not see him.
