Theragāthā

Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Twos

2.22. Bhadda­ji

That king was named Panāda,
Whose sacrificial post was golden.
Its height was sixteen times its width,
And the top was a thousand-fold.

With a thousand panels, and a hundred ball-caps,
Adorned with banners, made of gold;
There, the seven times six hundred
Gods of music danced.
