Psalms of the Brethren XXXV: Samannakani
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Happiness he who seeks may win an he practise the seeking —
Honour he gaineth beside, and growth of renown shall befall him —
So he but practise the road called Straight, even the Ariyan,
The Noble Eightfold Path whereby we may reach salvation.
