Psalms of the Brethren II: Kotthita the Great
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
Whoso, serene and calm, dead to the world,
Can utter wisdom’s runes, with wit unswelled,
Unruffled — he doth shake off naughty things
As they were forest leaves by wind-god blown.
