Theragāthā

Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Twos

2.29. Bhārad­vāja

This is how the wise roar:
Like lions in mountain caves,
Heroes, triumphant in battle,
Having vanquished Māra and his army.

I’ve attended on the teacher;
I’ve honoured the Dhamma and the Saṅgha;
I’m happy and joyful,
Because I’ve seen my son free of defilements.
