Psalms of the Brethren XXVI: Abhaya
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
Of him, the Buddha, kin o’ th’ sun, I heard
The word most eloquent, and hearing pierced
The subtle truth of things, as ’twere the tip
Of hair by cunning bowman’s art transfixed.
