The Buddha teaches on at the peacocks’ feeding ground (3rd), presenting a threefold teaching for disciples on the path.
“Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu accantaniṭṭho hoti accantayogakkhemī accantabrahmacārī accantapariyosāno seṭṭho devamanussānaṁ. Katamehi tīhi? Sammādiṭṭhiyā, sammāñāṇena, sammāvimuttiyā—
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu accantaniṭṭho hoti accantayogakkhemī accantabrahmacārī accantapariyosāno seṭṭho devamanussānan”ti.
Terasamaṁ.
Yodhājīvavaggo cuddasamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Yodho parisamittañca,
uppādā kesakambalo;
Sampadā vuddhi tayo assā,
tayo moranivāpinoti.

“Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu accantaniṭṭho hoti accantayogakkhemī accantabrahmacārī accantapariyosāno seṭṭho devamanussānaṁ.
“Mendicants, a mendicant who has three qualities has reached the ultimate end, the ultimate sanctuary from the yoke, the ultimate spiritual life, the ultimate goal. They are the best among gods and humans.
Katamehi tīhi?
What three?
Sammādiṭṭhiyā, sammāñāṇena, sammāvimuttiyā—
Right view, right knowledge, and right freedom.
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu accantaniṭṭho hoti accantayogakkhemī accantabrahmacārī accantapariyosāno seṭṭho devamanussānan”ti.
A mendicant with these three qualities has reached the ultimate end, the ultimate sanctuary from the yoke, the ultimate spiritual life, the ultimate goal. They are the best among gods and humans.”
Terasamaṁ.
Yodhājīvavaggo cuddasamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Yodho parisamittañca,
uppādā kesakambalo;
Sampadā vuddhi tayo assā,
