Psalms of the Brethren XCII: Vijaya

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

In whom the intoxicants are dried up;
Whose happiness dep)endeth not on food;
Whose range is in the Void and the Unmarked
And Liberty: — as flight of birds in air
So hard is it to track the trail of him.
