There, with no befriending or begrudging,

I will stay alone in solitude, Considered from the outset as already dead,

Thus, when I die, a source of pain to none.

As there is no friend and no one with resentment,

There will be no mourner when one dies.

If the body dwells alone in isolation

With neither friends nor enemies, No one will grieve even at death,

As one will have long been regarded as dead.

This version differs from it's counterparts.

That place of solitude where my body abides alone

Should be free from friendship and resentment. Once I have gone, if others think I have earlier died,

Even when I pass away, no one will suffer anguish.
