    a) hitvā mānusakaṃ yogaṃ (who has renounced human bonds). The subject is omitted. The verb is in gerund, hitvā (having renounced). The object is the noun yogaṃ (bond, accusative singular). It has an attribute, the adjective mānusakaṃ (human, accusative singular).
    b) dibbaṃ yogaṃ upaccagā (escaped divine bonds). The subject is omitted. The verb implies the third person singular pronoun. The verb is upaccagā (escaped, 3^rd person, singular, active, aorist). The object is the noun yogaṃ (bond, accusative singular). It has an attribute, the adjective dibbaṃ (divine, accusative singular).
    2) sabbayogavisaṃyuttaṃ tam ahaṃ brūmi brāhmaṇaṃ (who is detached from al bonds - him do I call a Brahmin). The subject of this sentence is the pronoun ahaṃ (I, nominative singular). The verb is brūmi ([I] say, 1^st person, singular, active, indicative, present tense). The object is the noun brāhmaṇaṃ (Brahmin, accusative singular). It has two attributes, the pronoun tam (him, accusative singular) and the compound sabbayogavisaṃyuttaṃ (who is detached from al bonds, accusative singular).

    A dancer named Nāṭa Puttaka once became a monk and attained the Arahantship. One day he and other monks saw another dancer in the streets, practicing his art. They asked Nāṭa Puttaka if he still missed dancing. He replied that he did not. The Buddha then spoke this verse, confirming Nāṭa Puttaka's Arahantship.
