Psalms of the Brethren XCIX: Uttiya
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Religion
Sound of sweet voice bewildering self-control,
If one but think upon the image dear,
The heart inflamed in feeling doth o’erflow
And clinging stayeth. Thus in him do grow
The deadly taints that bring Sapsara near.
