Theragāthā

Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Twos

2.35. ­Sambu­la­kaccāna

The sky rains, the sky groans,
I’m staying alone in a frightful hole.
But while I’m staying alone in that frightful hole,
I’ve no fear, no dread, no goosebumps.

This is my normal state,
When I’m staying alone in a frightful hole:
I’ve no fear, no dread, no goosebumps.
