《出曜經》卷13〈12 沙門品〉：「截流而渡，無欲如梵，知行已盡，逮無量德。」
截流而渡者，流者結使之本，漏出色聲香味細滑意法，猶如江河諸流盡趣于海。凡夫結使亦復如是，漏出塵勞色聲香味細滑意法。彼修行人執智慧劍斷而使住，不復漏出結使纏縛，是故說，截流而渡也。無欲如梵者，思惟斷欲，猶如梵志晝夜精勤，勞形苦體暴露屍骸，日夜翹足仰事日月，願生梵天，受彼天福為梵豪尊，便於此間專精一意，思惟斷欲修清淨行。是故說，無欲如梵也。知行已盡者，無欲之人內外清淨，練精其心無復塵垢，是故說，知行已盡也。逮無量德者，如此之人受供無量，施一切凡夫人，不如施一須陀洹。所以然者，畢當盡一切生死，更不處三有故。斯陀含、阿那含，眾行具足功德無量；施百須陀洹不如施一斯陀含，施百斯陀含不如施一阿那含。是故說，逮無量德。」(CBETA, T04, no. 212, p. 678, a17-b5)

================================
This verse consists of three syntactically separate sentences. They are:
1) chinda sotaṃ parakkamma (having undertaken the effort, cut off the stream [of suffering]). The subject is omitted; the verb implies the second person singular pronoun. The verb is chinda (cut off, 2nd person, singular, active, imperative). It has an attribute, the gerund parakkamma (having undertaken). The object is the noun sotaṃ (stream, accusative singular).
2) kāme panuda brāhmaṇa (dispel sense-pleasures, Brahmin). The subject is the noun brāhmaṇa (Brahmin, vocative singular). The verb is panuda (dispel, 2nd person, singular, active, imperative). The object is the noun kāme (sense-pleasures, accusative plural).
3) saṅkhārānaṃ khayaṃ ñatva akataññūsi brāhmaṇa (having realized the destruction of conditioned things, you know the Nirvana, Brahmin). This can be further analysed into two segments:
a) saṅkhārānaṃ khayaṃ ñatvā (having realized the destruction of conditioned things). The verb is in gerund, ñatvā (having known). The object is the noun khayaṃ (destruction, accusative singular). It has an attribute, the noun saṅkhārānaṃ (of conditioned things, genitive plural).

Commentary:
A certain Brahmin in Savatthi was a follower of the Buddha. Often he invited the monks to his house and he would address them as Arahants. Those monks, who had not yet attained the Arahantship, were embarrassed and many monks started to avoid the Brahmin's house.
The Brahmin felt sad and asked the Buddha why so many monks stopped coming to his house. The Buddha then questioned the monks and they told him about the Brahmin's form of address. The Buddha told them that the Brahmin did not mean anything bad; he spoke only out of his respect and devotion to the Arahants. Then the Buddha spoke this verse, saying that monks should uproot the stream of suffering, realize the destruction of conditioned things and experience the Nirvana.
