 Verses 87 & 88: The man of wisdom,leaving the home of craving and having Nibbana as his goal, should give up
 dark, evil ways and cultivate pure, good ones. He should seek great delight
 in solitude, detachment and Nibbana, which an ordinary man finds so difficult
 to enjoy. He should also give up sensual pleasures, and clinging to nothing,
 should cleanse himself of all impurities of the mind.
 Verse 89: Those, with mind well-developed inthe seven Factors of Enlightenment (bojjhanga), having rid themselves of all
 craving, rejoice in their abandonment of attachment. Such men, with all moral
 intoxicants eradicated, and powerful (with the light of Arahatta Magganana),
 have realized Nibbana in this world (i.e., with Khandha aggregates
 remaining).
 
 
 
 1. oka anakamagamma; lit., havinggone from home to the homeless. In this context interpreted as leaving the
 seat of craving and having Nibbana as a goal.
 2. viveke: solitude, detachment,Nibbana.
 3. akincano: lit., having nothing;clinging to nothing. (The term kincana may include any of the kilesas
 or defilements such as passion, ill will, ignorance, etc; it also means
 clinging or attachment to the world.)
 4. cittaklesehi: citta kilesa:impurities of the mind.
 5. sambodhiyangesu: sambojjhanga: theFactors of Enlightenment or requisites for attaining Magga Insight.
 6. khinasava: one in whom humanpassions are extinguished; an arahat.
 7. jutimanta: one endowed with thepower of Arahatta Magganana.
 8. te loke parinibbuta: therealization of Nibbana in the realm of the five aggregates (khandhas), or in
 other words, in this world. But according to the Commentary, in this context,
 both Sa-upadisesa and Anupadisesa Nibbana are meant. Sa-upadisesa
 or Kilesa Nibbana is Nibbana with groups of existence or khandhas
 remaining; it is realized by an arahat on the attainment of arahatship. Anupadisesa
 or Khandha Nibbana is Nibbana without groups of existence or khandhas
 remaining. It takes place on the death of an arahat.

 five hundred visiting bhikkhus.
 Five hundred bhikkhus who had spent thevassa in Kosala came to pay homage to the Buddha at the Jetavana monastery,
 at the end of the vassa.

| No action against Nasimuddin Siddiqui:UP govt
 Lucknow:The UP government on Monday told the state Lokayukta that a CBI probe as
 recommended by it against its minister Naseemuddin Siddiqui cannot be initiated
 as the charges made against him were not related to any of his decisions or
 approvals taken during his tenure as minister.
 
 “It is not possible to take action as per the law on the recommendations
 of the Lokayukta as there is no charge against Naseemuddin on approvals granted
 by him or any of his decisions and works as a minister,” an official
 spokesperson said here.

 20 Painkillers in Your Kitchen Make muscle pain a memory with ginger
 When
 Danish researchers asked achy people to jazz up their diets with
 ginger, it eased muscle and joint pain, swelling and stiffness for up to
 63 percent of them within two months. Experts credit ginger’s potent
 compounds called gingerols, which prevent the production of
 pain-triggering hormones. The study-recommended dose: Add at least 1
 teaspoon of dried ginger or 2 teaspoons of chopped ginger to meals
 daily.
 
 
 Cure a toothache with cloves 
Got
 a toothache and can’t get to the dentist? Gently chewing on a clove can
 ease tooth pain and gum inflammation for two hours straight, say UCLA
 researchers. Experts point to a natural compound in cloves called
 eugenol, a powerful, natural anesthetic. Bonus: Sprinkling a ΒΌ teaspoon
 of ground cloves on meals daily may also protect your ticker. Scientists
 say this simple action helps stabilize blood sugar, plus dampen
 production of artery-clogging cholesterol in as little as three weeks.
 
 Heal heartburn with cider vinegar
 
 Sip
 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with 8 ounces of water before
 every meal, and experts say you could shut down painful bouts of
 heartburn in as little as 24 hours. “Cider vinegar is rich in malic and
 tartaric acids, powerful digestive aids that speed the breakdown of fats
 and proteins so your stomach can empty quickly, before food washes up
 into the esophagus, triggering heartburn pain,” explains Joseph Brasco,
 M.D., a gastroenterologist at the Center for Colon and Digestive
 Diseases in Huntsville, AL.
 
 Erase earaches with garlic
 Painful
 ear infections drive millions of Americans to doctors’ offices every
 year. To cure one fast, just place two drops of warm garlic oil into
 your aching ear twice daily for five days. This simple treatment can
 clear up ear infections faster than prescription meds, say experts at
 the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. Scientists say garlic’s
 active ingredients (germanium, selenium, and sulfur compounds) are
 naturally toxic to dozens of different pain-causing bacteria. To whip up
 your own garlic oil gently simmer three cloves of crushed garlic in a
 half a cup of extra virgin olive oil for two minutes, strain, then
 refrigerate for up to two weeks, suggests Teresa Graedon, Ph.D.,
 co-author of the book, Best Choices From The People’s Pharmacy. For an optimal experience, warm this mix slightly before using so the liquid will feel soothing in your ear canal.
 
 Chase away joint and headache pain with cherries
 Latest
 studies show that at least one in four women is struggling with
 arthritis, gout or chronic headaches. If you’re one of them, a daily
 bowl of cherries could ease your ache, without the stomach upset so
 often triggered by today’s painkillers, say researchers at East Lansing
 ’s Michigan State University . Their research reveals that anthocyanins,
 the compounds that give cherries their brilliant red color, are
 anti-inflammatories 10 times stronger than ibuprofen and aspirin.
 “Anthocyanins help shut down the powerful enzymes that kick-start tissue
 inflammation, so they can prevent, as well as treat, many different
 kinds of pain,” explains Muraleedharan Nair, Ph.D., professor of food
 science at Michigan State University . His advice: Enjoy 20 cherries
 (fresh, frozen or dried) daily, then continue until your pain
 disappears.
  Prevent PMS with yogurt
 Up
 to 80 percent of women will struggle with premenstrual syndrome and its
 uncomfortable symptoms, report Yale researchers. The reason: Their
 nervous systems are sensitive to the ups and downs in estrogen and
 progesterone that occur naturally every month. But snacking on 2 cups of
 yogurt a day can slash these symptoms by 48 percent, say researchers at
 New York ’s Columbia University. “Yogurt is rich in calcium, a mineral
 that naturally calms the nervous system, preventing painful symptoms
 even when hormones are in flux,” explains Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a
 professor of gynecology at Yale University.
 
 Tame chronic pain with turmeric
 Studies
 show turmeric, a popular East Indian spice, is actually three times
 more effective at easing pain than aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen, plus
 it can help relieve chronic pain for 50 percent of people struggling
 with arthritis and even fibromyalgia, according to Cornell researchers.
 That’s because turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin, naturally shuts
 down cyclooxygenase 2, an enzyme that churns out a stream of
 pain-producing hormones, explains nutrition researcher Julian Whitaker,
 M.D. and author of the book,Reversing Diabetes. The study-recommended dose: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of this spice daily onto any rice, poultry, meat or vegetable dish.
 
 
End endometrial pain with oats
 The
 ticket to soothing endometriosis pain could be a daily bowl of oatmeal.
 Endometriosis occurs when little bits of the uterine lining detach and
 grow outside of the uterus. Experts say these migrating cells can turn
 menstruation into a misery, causing so much inflammation that they
 trigger severe cramping during your period, plus a heavy ache that drags
 on all month long. Fortunately, scientists say opting for a diet rich
 in oats can help reduce endometrial pain for up to 60 percent of women
 within six months. That’s because oats don’t contain gluten, a
 trouble-making protein that triggers inflammation in many women, making
 endometriosis difficult to bear, explains Peter Green, M.D., professor
 of medicine at Colombia University .
 Soothe foot pain with salt Experts
 say at least six million Americans develop painful ingrown toenails
 each year. But regularly soaking ingrown nails in warm salt water baths
 can cure these painful infections within four days, say scientists at
 California ’s Stanford University . The salt in the mix naturally nixes
 inflammation, plus it’s anti-bacterial, so it quickly destroys the germs
 that cause swelling and pain. Just mix 1 teaspoon of salt into each cup
 of water, heat to the warmest temperature that you can comfortably
 stand, and then soak the affected foot area for 20 minutes twice daily,
 until your infection subsides.
 
 
Prevent digestive upsets with pineapple
 Got
 gas? One cup of fresh pineapple daily can cut painful bloating within
 72 hours, say researchers at California ’s Stanford University . That’s
 because pineapple is natually packed with proteolytic enzymes, digestive
 aids that help speed the breakdown of pain-causing proteins in the
 stomach and small intestine, say USDA researchers.
 
 
Relax painful muscles with peppermint
 Suffering
 from tight, sore muscles? Stubborn knots can hang around for months if
 they aren’t properly treated, says naturopath Mark Stengler, N.D.,
 author of the book, The Natural Physician’s Healing Therapies.
 His advice: Three times each week, soak in a warm tub scented with 10
 drops of peppermint oil. The warm water will relax your muscles, while
 the peppermint oil will naturally soothe your nerves — a combo that can
 ease muscle cramping 25 percent more effectively than over-the-counter
 painkillers, and cut the frequency of future flare-ups in half, says
 Stengler.
 
 Give your back some TLC with grapes
 Got
 an achy back? Grapes could be the ticket to a speedy recovery. Recent
 studies at Ohio State University suggest eating a heaping cup of grapes
 daily can relax tight blood vessels, significantly improving blood flow
 to damaged back tissues (and often within three hours of enjoying the
 first bowl). That’s great news because your back’s vertebrae and
 shock-absorbing discs are completely dependent on nearby blood vessels
 to bring them healing nutrients and oxygen, so improving blood flow is
 essential for healing damaged back tissue, says Stengler.
 
 
Wash away pain injuries with water
 Whether
 it’s your feet, your knees or your shoulders that are throbbing,
 experts at New York ’s Manhattan College , say you could kick-start your
 recovery in one week just by drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water
 daily. Why? Experts say water dilutes, and then helps flush out,
 histamine, a pain-triggering compound produced by injured tissues. “Plus
 water is a key building block of the cartilage that cushions the ends
 of your bones, your joints’ lubricating fluid, and the soft discs in
 your spine,” adds Susan M. Kleiner, Ph.D., author of the book, The Good Mood Diet.
 “And when these tissues are well-hydrated, they can move and glide over
 each other without causing pain.” One caveat: Be sure to measure your
 drinking glasses to find out how large they really are before you start
 sipping, she says. Today’s juice glasses often hold more than 12 ounces,
 which means five servings could be enough to meet your daily goal.
 
 Heal sinus problems with horseradish
 Latest
 studies show sinusitis is the nation’s number one chronic health
 problem. And this condition doesn’t just spur congestion and facial
 pain, it also makes sufferers six times more likely to feel achy
 all-over. Horseradish to the rescue! According to German researchers,
 this eye-watering condiment naturally revs up blood flow to the sinus
 cavities, helping to open and drain clogged sinuses and heal sinus
 infections more quickly than decongestant sprays do. The
 study-recommended dose: One teaspoon twice daily (either on its own, or
 used as a sandwich or meat topping) until symptoms clear.
 
Beat bladder infections with blueberries
 Eating
 1 cup of blueberries daily, whether you opt for them fresh, frozen or
 in juice form, can cut your risk of a urinary tract infection (UTIs) by
 60 percent, according to researchers at New Jersey’s Rutgers University.
 That’s because blueberries are loaded with tannins, plant compounds
 that wrap around problem-causing bacteria in the bladder, so they can’t
 get a toehold and create an infection, explains Amy Howell, Ph.D. a
 scientist at Rutgers University . 
	Heal mouth sores with honey
 Dab
 painful canker and cold sores with unpasteurized honey four times daily
 until these skin woes disappear, and they’ll heal 43 percent faster
 than if you use a prescription cream, say researchers at the Dubai
 Specialized Medical Center in the United Arab Emirates . Raw honey’s
 natural enzymes zap inflammation, destroy invading viruses and speed the
 healing of damaged tissues, say the study authors.
 
 
Fight breast pain with flax
 In
 one recent study, adding 3 tablespoons of ground flax to their daily
 diet eased breast soreness for one in three women within 12 weeks.
 Scientists credit flax’s phytoestrogens, natural plant compounds that
 prevent the estrogen spikes that can trigger breast pain. More good
 news: You don’t have to be a master baker to sneak this healthy seed
 into your diet. Just sprinkle ground flax on oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce
 or add it to smoothies and veggie dips.
 
 
Cure migraines with coffee
 Prone
 to migraines? Try muscling-up your painkiller with a coffee chaser.
 Whatever over-the-counter pain med you prefer, researchers at the
 National Headache Foundation say washing it down with a strong 12- ounce
 cup of coffee will boost the effectiveness of your medication by 40
 percent or more. Experts say caffeine stimulates the stomach lining to
 absorb painkillers more quickly and more effectively.
 
 Tame leg cramps with tomato juice
 At
 least one in five people regularly struggle with leg cramps. The
 culprit? Potassium deficiencies, which occur when this mineral is
 flushed out by diuretics, caffeinated beverages or heavy perspiration
 during exercise. But sip 10 ounces of potassium-rich tomato juice daily
 and you’ll not only speed your recovery, you’ll reduce your risk of
 painful cramp flare-ups in as little as 10 days, say UCLA researchers.
