Theragāthā

Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Twos

2.33. Upa­vā­ṇa

The Worthy One, the world’s Holy One
The sage is afflicted by winds.
If there’s hot water,
Give it to the sage, brahmin.

I wish to bring it to the one
Who is honoured by those worthy of honour,
Revered by those worthy of reverence,
And respected by those worthy of respect.
