Psalms of the Brethren X: Punnamasa
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
All longings as to this or other life
Have I put far from me, as one who hath
Beta’en himself to truth, whose heart’s at peace,
Who, self -subdued, in all things undefiled,
Discerns the world’s incessant ebb and flow.
