Psalms of the Brethren CII: Setuccha
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
By vain conceits deluded, and their minds
Corrupted by the varied things of sense;
Flushed by their gains, by dearth thereof upset,
They fail to win the concentrated mind.
