Psalms of the Brethren LXXXIX: Devasabha

by The Brethren of the Theragatha traditionally 6th–3rd century BCE; composition uncertain

Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)

Religion

Transcended is the miry bog of lusts.
Past doom infernal am I safely come
From flood and fetter dire to liberty,
And shed is every form of self conceit.
