Psalms of the Brethren CXLII: Bhaddaji
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Panada was that king by name
Whose palace was of gold;
Sixteen apartments deep it stood,
Aloft a thousandfold.
A thousand flights it rose on high,
Its walls with scroll-work dight,
With many a flaunting banner hung,
With emeralds glittering bright.
’Twas there they danced, Gandharvas danced,
Six thousand in seven bands.
