7 - Arahantavagga, The Arahat
3 - Belatthasisatthera Vatthu
Yesam sannicayo natthi, ye parinnatabhojana;92: Arahats do not hoard (anything); when taking food they reflect well over it (i.e., in accordance with the three parinnas). They have as their object liberation from existence, that is, Nibbana which is Void and Signless. Their destination, like the course of birds in the air, cannot be traced.
sunnato animitto ca, vimokkho yesam gocaro;
akaseva sakuntnam, gati tesam durannaya.
