Ended the old,
	there is no new taking birth.
Dispassioned their minds
	toward future becoming,
they, with no seed,
	no desire for growth,
the enlightened go out
	like this flame.

— Khp 6

This, without aging,
	this without death,
this, the unaging, undying state
	with no sorrow,
		hostility,
		bonds,
	with no burning...

— Thig 16.1

He had no in-&-out breathing,
the one who was Such*, the firm-minded one.
imperturbable & bent on peace:
	the sage completing his span.
With heart unbowed
	he endured the pain.
Like a flame's going out
	was the liberation
	of awareness.

— DN 16
