But for one knowing kamma,
the inconstacy of what has been gained,

He rejoices seeing a man,
who does not lay down the yoke,
is inspired of what might be possible,
if not wast ones merits.
resting aside of the path:
Taking inconstant for constant,
already gone for gain.
"One who rejoices with those under the yoke
working on the path,
such a person has placed his discrimination,
toward the final release from the yoke
already,
by himself destinated at final release,
having realized those on the path,
and those rightly beyond and duty for this world.

Dukkha in component thing not seen.

and rejoice in gain of the intellect as well.
Not as a means from release given is seen,
but hold on to nourish the wandering on.
To the gamble along the streets they go back."
