Psalms of the Brethren XIX: Kula
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
The conduit-makers lead the stream,
Fletchers coerce the arrow-shaft,
The joiners mould the wooden plank;
The self — ’tis that the pious tame.
