Psalms of the Brethren CLV: Sambula-Kaccana
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
God’s rain pours down, ay, and god’s rain roars down,
And I alone in fearsome hollow dwell.
Yet dwelling so in fearsome rocky dell
To me no fear comes nigh, no creeping dread,
No quailing [of my soul].
For such the law
Within the blessed Norm, that dwelling so
To me no fear comes nigh, no creeping dread,
No quailing [of my soul] to me, alone.
