29. Although I am pained, weak, with my youth gone, I go along leaning on a stick, having climbed the mountain.
30. I threw down my outer robe and turned my bowl upside down. I sat down on a rock. Then my mind was completely released. I have obtained the three knowledges. I have done the Buddha’s teaching.

I know my older sister passed this way.
At the top of the mountain,
I spread my outer robe
where perhaps
she once spread hers.
I set down my bowl—
and there was her staff.
The twin of my own.
Using both staffs,
I lowered myself down
and leaned back
against a large
gray rock.
I let go of the staffs—
and my hands were empty.
The mountain went on holding me.
Then it let me go.
My staff I also now leave behind.
Just in case you’re ever passing this way.
