Verse 384. Cultivate Concentration

When by the twofold Dhamma
a Brahmin’s gone beyond
all the bonds of One-who-Knows
have wholly disappeared.

Explanation: When the brahmana – the seeker after the truth – has understood the two states of concentration and insight through and through, then in that person who knows these, all fetters wane, diminish and fade away.
