Religion
Psalms of the Brethren VIII: Vira
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
Once hard to tame, by taming now is tamed
Vira, from doubts released, content, serene;
Victor is Vira, free from creeping dread;
His is the goal supreme, and steadfast strength.
