Psalms of the Brethren CXXXV: Sabbamitta
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Folk are bound up with folk and cling to folk.
Folk suffer scathe from folk and wreak the same.
What boots thee then this folk, and brood of folk?
Let the folk go and get thee gone from them,
Who as they go injure so many folk.
