Psalms of the Brethren XIII: Vanavaccha

by The Brethren of the Theragatha traditionally 6th–3rd century BCE; composition uncertain

Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)

Religion

Crags with the hue of heaven’s blue clouds,
Where lies enbosomed many a shining tarn
Of crystal-clear, cool waters, and whose slopes
The ‘herds of Indra’ cover and bedeck:
Those are the braes wherein my soul delights.
