Psalms of the Brethren CXXVI: Melajina

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

When I had heard the Master preach the Norm,
No doubts my mind could thenceforth entertain
In him all-knowing and invincible.

Nor in a mighty hero like to him,
Lord of the caravan, driver of men,
Peerless and grand, nor in the Path, the Rule,
Can ever want of faith disturb my soul.
